MY 1st cross country trip, and yes I was crazy.

I bought mine two months ago while on a trip to Utah. Picked up a 2000 S with 32k from the Porsche dealer in Salt Lake City. Next day, my wife and I threw away our return flight tickets, bought an Escort 9500ix, and started on our trip back to the east coast.

I put on 2000 miles over three days. I've driven cross country several times in various cars and this is one of the most fun and comfortable cars to do this in. No problems at all and fairly comfortable, except near Chicago where the roads were terrible. My wife was enamored by the car too, not a single complaint about the ride nor seats.

As for parking in motels, I always managed to have a room with a good view of the car so I kept a good eye on it. No problems with vandalism, and the only tailgater worth mentioning was a Canadian guy driving a Porsche Cayenne. Passed several Boxsters who all waved as I passed them.
