The wife and I just got back from a 550 mi trip to Watkins Glen.
WOW !!
What a great trip. After much angst about taking the Boxster on such a trip, in the end it was much ado about nothing.
Took the car to the dealer to check the brakes and do a flush and an oil change, (out with the Mobil 1, in with the Redline 5W40) brought it home and packed for 4 days of IndyCar fun. We left Friday morning with the top down and the sunscreen on.
If you ever have a chance to drive Rt. 14 between Trout Run, Pa. and Watkins Glen, NY. do it. The scenery in north central Pa. is spectacular, and Rt.14 winds through valleys and small towns. It's a mostly 2 lane road that is in very good condition and very little traffic.
The Boxster was made for this kind of road. And I am so happy to report that the car ran like a champ. Not a single glitch. The trip home was even better, even though we left NY at 6:30 am in temps of 70 degrees and arrived in Maryland to temps of over 100 degrees the water temp never went above 185 the entire trip.
I. Love. This. Car. And better yet, so does the wife. I'm sorry I waited this long to own a Porsche.
