Thumbs up 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.
