Value of the cars too high. Don't want to drive

What difference does that make?
It could be worth $1mm, but who cares if you paid $30k for it.
Stupid anti-logic.

East cost traffic jams

There are no traffic jams in rural Upstate roads

Price of gas too high.

250 miles.
20 mpg
12 gallons
$60 worth of gas.
A few years ago it would have been $40 of gas.
If you can't afford an extra $20, sell the car, you're broke

Covid on the rise

This is not a trip with a shared charter bus
Driving your own car is the theme here.

Need vaccination proof?

Gullible anti-vaxxer says what ?

Car probably in the shop

That's why there is 2 months notice given

People don't drive them in the winter.

It's 50 degrees.

Tires not the right season.

Then don't drive like an idiot

Only 15-50w oil. Need lower weight oil

15/50 is good down to 15F degrees.

Only insure for 1000k miles a year

One million miles?
The entire drive is 250 miles.

Had to ask the wife for permission

Can't help you there.
Spineless is a terminal condition

This is a great ride. Couldn't make it this year.
Looks like the weather for a late November day couldn't be better.

Hope to see some pictures from those lucky enough to participate.

Stay Well - Stay Safe - SPEED SAFELY

It was a great drive! Thanks Dave for organizing this and everyone else who participated and made this a great event. We made it home to get to watch the end of the first half of the Argentina - Mexico match (let’s go Argentina ;-) )

I’m attaching some pics here and will be uploading others into my instagram (porsche_touring). Looking forward to the next drive!!!

Dave: Thanks for keeping this ride going.

- It was a beautiful day to ride, see some familiar faces and just talk Porsche.

- To Our navigator : I think his name is "Joe", Blue Cabriolet Turbo: he did a great job keeping the pack together and going in the right direction. It made for a stress free drive.

- Hope to see everyone again next year.
