My windscreen started rattling. Can you tell me more about replacing the clips?

Ed,

My suggestion would be to take a GPS. I've had my Garmin Nuvi 350 for a few years and think about all of the trips in the past where it would have been so nice to have. I won't travel unchartered roads without it.

It is sort of a pain to get it out of site when leaving the car unattended, but worth it. I don't stick mine on the windshield. I just slide it in the upper storage cubby hole in front of the shifter.

Enjoy the trip.

Nice white boxster, I wanted a white one but got a polar silver instead

J-Slicks,

Thanks very much!

When you get a chance post some pics of your car. We love looking at pictures.

I dont know anything about GPS units, does anyone have a recommendation?

I just did a search on GPS units and it looks like the Garmin 660 has the features that I would like and they are available for less than 300.00 at amazon.com. Have any folks used this unit and do you like it?

Ed, I have a Gramin and love it. That's a good price too:

nuvi 660 rocks. You will love it. They have a few nick-knacks on the newer models but all in all, the 660 does what you need with stride.

Sounds like you're going to have a great trip. Have fun! Jon
