My wife and I are driving cross-country starting tomorrow to attend the Monterey Historic Races at Laguna Seca. Since Porsche is the featured marque this year (last time was 1998 - I was there!), we thought it would be fun to bring the Carrera 4S and park with all the other Porsches, do the parade lap, etc. If I am really lucky, I'll get Derek Bell to sign under the hood...

I am going to post updates/pics/etc. daily. During the drive out, Russ aka MexicoBlue has graciously offered to put us up for a night in Little Rock. We also plan on meeting up with a bunch of TSers in Monterey, both at the races and for dinner on Saturday night.

The car is detailed, gassed up, and ready to go. I'll post some pre-launch pics later and then the updates at night from our hotel rooms. Keep your fingers crossed for no tickets, mishaps, flats, etc.

 

Have fun mang! Looking forward to the updates!

 

I'd love to get a map of the route you're going. (To lazy to find out myself on google maps )

Looking forward to pics and updates!

 

Here's the quick and dirty version:

Day one - DC area to Knoxville, TN
Day two - Knoxville to Little Rock, AR
Day three - Little Rock to Albuquerque, NM
Day four - Albuquerque to Phoenix, AZ
Day five - Phoenix to San Diego, CA
Days six through eight visiting my mom in SD
Day nine - San Diego to Monterey

I'm shipping the car back from San Jose with Intercity Lines (Thanks, Jim!).

 

Safe travels...

 

Keep those road bugs cleaned off every evening. They will pile up after a while on the road. Drive safely!!!!!!

 

Thanks guys... I am bringing some quick detailer, a California duster, some microfiber towels, 3 qts of Mobil 1 and some regular towels. I'll take a pic of the car loaded up later when it's packed.

 

Nice trip, enjoy.

 

Sent you a PM.

 

Sounds like a fantastic trip. Enjoy it!
