Oops, sorry. but you all gotta do something about the damn road construction . The eastern half of nebraska was cool. I liked seeing the roads named after tom osborne. Being a buckeye I still have much respect for the cornhuskers!!

I travel a lot for work, and learned the following 3 important rules:

1) Never eat in the same place you sleep

2) Never eat from a buffet

3) Wash your hands a lot

Sounds like you had a great trip. It was fun reading your report. Enjoy the car!

CONGRATS! I just picked up my boxster this past Saturday...

I already put 125 miles the first day (thats ALOT for NYC). My fiancee and I are planning our first road trip to the finger lakes. Awesome story!

Happy Motoring, Dan

Thanks, Oh, avoid buffets!!! I wish I had did a little more home work on things to see and places to eat. There are always the hidden little places you just drive right by and then see them on the food network the next week as the best place to eat in the world. Happened to me. I saw a place on tv in Oklahoma, that supposedly had the best beef brisket in the world and found out it was only a stones throw away from were I had been. I didn't want to plan my trip down to the tee, but I should have had more options.

Have fun on your trip!! and remeber a family "red" cooler from Wallyworld fits perfectly in the frunk!! That was probably the best advice I could give!! As it saved me a small fortune from those gouging interstate gas stations.

We are definitely looking into the cooler! I noticed things in the frunk and trunk normally gets so hot. I'm worried if the ice will melt away every few minutes or so.

Great point about the research. We're definitely planning every stop. I'm glad you had fun! Post up pictures soon!

I had to only change my ice once a day. The cooler definately did its job. I did have to move the jack and the tools in the trunk
