Anyone up for a VERY Long 997 Turbo Test Drive????
Anybody from SoCal want 10 hours behind the week of a 997 Turbo? …Five hours of which is 85 mph speed limit
![]() I'm picking up the car in Dallas Monday morning and driving straight through to LA. I need to be back for a Wed meeting and need the car here for the Auto Club Speedway event on the 2nd. No haulers will commit to the Friday delivery, so I'm going to make the schlep. If a fellow Pelican has nothing else to do (and can stay sober), I'd love to have the help.

I wish I had the extra time and money. I'd meet you in Dallas and fly myself home. Sounds like a blast.

Hey! You can't just buy a car and not tell us about it!
Sid, you're a lucky SOB, because that sounds like fun.

Please take the two lanes highways to Rosewell, Socorro then into Show Low. Just don't speed throught the towns.
After Phoenix hit the interstate. What a great trip. Enjoy.
