Last Summer took the wife and kids from Dallas to Washington DC and back. Then two weeks later we drove from Dallas to San Diego and back.

Of course this was in our brand new Honda Odyssey and we were very comfy! One thing I would advise if taking the Boxster that far, is to either get a bra or that clear protective stuff they stick on the front end. There is a crapload of debri (rocks, cans, 2X4s, tires, bugs, animals....etc.) on the roads out there and no matter how well you drive, it still gets thrown up and bounced off the front of your car with regularity. Expect a few pits and/or cracks in the windshield as well.

Oh, and also ditto on the maintenance stuff.

Should be fun. I'm jealous.
