Despite having much more appropriate vehicles available the girl friend and I decided to take the Boxster on a fly fishing, camping, brewery trip out in the Blue Ridge Parkway. Having owned a few small sports cars I think one of the most under appreciated things about the Boxster is that you can fit a lot in it, and if your willing you can also fit more...on it. Here are some highlights
The thing about camping is you need twice as many things as you think you need. The fronk and trunk quickly filled up and the rest of the gear had to strapped the to the roll bars. I learned this trick last year when I had to take an 8ft Christmas tree home, since then I've strapped all kinds of things onto the roof. It was also a little cold so the girlfriend did some wrapping up
We had a great trip down, weather couldn't have been better
Luckily Richmond is a quick 1.5 hours away from the Blue Ridge Parkway, once we arrived we dropped everything off except the fishing gear and head out to the mountains
Not too bad for a sports car!
Another beautiful drive
Got a little side tracked at the first brewery
Despite being on autocross tires we ended up with some light offroading to a flyfishing hole.
Got a little more sidetracked
Oddly enough there was a scooter party at our campsite with a live band, moonshine and all kinds of shenanigans. We got busted for crashing their party but then it turns out that I welded the "president" of the scooter clubs moped together a few months ago so everything went well.
