From DC to Charleston, SC

[s5uewf]

In the process of moving to Charleston, SC June 12th. Drove the 930 from DC to Raleigh, NC and then from Raleigh to Charleston all in same day. First time I have had a chance to drive the car ~10 hours (600 miles) in a single day, in two ~5 hr segments.

930 ran flawlessly and engine was so-o-o-o smooth. Loved every minute of it. Had the laptop running for periods of time to allow the VE table to auto tune based on real time EFI/ECU feedback. Rt 95 traffic south of Richmond was pretty light and most of drive was around 70MPH - 80MPH just keeping pace with the flow.

Have not done the exact math but appears was 20MPG+ for the trip, too --- using those lean AFR settings on the low load portions of my AFR map!

Had to share - was so much fun to get out and drive the 930.

So, now ... are there any other 930 / 911 members in the Charleston area I can connect with?

nice photo and great to be driving it for a long period, the car probably enjoyed it (as much as a car can enjoy things...)

You'll be able to clean up the front end of your 930 now because SC abandoned the front license plate years ago. In the mid nineties I lived on post at Fort Meade for two years and drove my 944 without putting the MD front plate on for at least a year until an MP pulled me over by the NSA building and ticketed me for it. He said he had been watching me for a while before the ticket. I told him the plate was in the back seat and I'd be glad to put it on but he ticketed me anyway. Welcome to SC. I live near Greenville but occasionally go to Charleston so maybe we can get together sometime. That's a great looking 930 in silver.
