Good morning, I will be hitting the road in about 5 minutes headed further north to Traverse City MI. As I metioned in my previous post here are some pictures of New Buffalo, Michigan.

No snow in MI?? 
Looks like a great trip so far other than the tire mishap... your next plan should be to do the route home while avoiding the interstates and enjoying the backroads

Made it to Traverse City Michigan today (no there is no snow) and have clocked 2,780 miles from California to here. The Boxster now has 216,035 miles on it.

Yep, AOS twice and not let's forget the top, windshield, headlights, oil cooler, brakes, coils, O2 sensors, MAF sensor, RMS, flywheel, and water pump.

Hope you're having a good time, Jäger. How many of those 216k are yours? That's amazing (take that VW)

DUDE!
Well that's getting your money's worth.
Say, since you're road tripping and taking pictures all throughout, why not contribute to the Boxster Picture Game Thread I just started up today? It might be very easy for you to accomplish some of the tasks since you're travelling all over the place.

The car was born to rev forever! Seriously, I bet you have changed the engine twice to get that sort of mileage – or changed the oil every 1,500-2,000k.
I also say you are a teacher or a professor to be able to afford some, what appears to be, switched on quality time!
Can you describe the engine history and condition please, what type of work involved if any, oil choice & change freq, driving style, petrol/octane selection (habits!), etc...
that is very impressive already

On The Road Again
Going back to California... I had a great time in Michigan. Photo of JägerMobile parked next to Grand Traverse Bay, the west bay (Traverse City has two bays).

Way too much fun! Be safe.
