Death Valley at Warp Speed
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			Hey Guys,  
 
The photo is mediocre, but the adventure that went with it was epic.   
 
I live in the Siberia of North America.....Wyoming.   The average wind chill in January and February is below zero.  Right, my weather station readings:  Average wind for month X Average Temperature during month = -0 on the wind chill chart!   
 
So in early Feb of 2006 I headed out in my Boxster S to the hottest place in the States....Death Valley.  Dang it, I was going to thaw out.  My alarm went off at 5 am in my seedy motel room in Beatty Nevada.  I drank a pot of coffee, put the top down in the 68 degree air, aaaaaaaaaah, fired the motor and headed for the Death Valley National Park.  Nobody home at the toll booth, I like this! I took this snappy as the sun rose over the park.   I traveled the next 100 miles of winding 2 lane through the absolutely deserted park  at speeds and g forces that pushed me and my Porshe to the limit.   
 
I was in drivers heaven, and I was smokin' hot. 
 
Ike
