I only date girls who pack light....

I even bought a point and shoot camera just for the trip. I have a feeling that my passenger will get bored and take lots of photos even if I forget. So I should have plenty of pictures to post!

T-2.5 days!

Garage
Spare battery for the camera and maybe a cigarette lighter charger for said battery(s)...in case your navigator runs the battery down you can switch quickly and we won't miss but a beat of the picture taking.

I may be mostly alone on this one, but I was not aware that 987s did not come with spares...now I'm kinda glad I went with an oldie...how'd Porsche get away with th---nevermind, I should know better than to finsh that question...

BTW, what car is that reflected in your car's paint? I know that's no 944...just curious.

No spare? That's the first thing I would have. Then the AAA card.

I'm not too worried about not having a spare. If I can't plug it effectively then i will just have it towed. I have an upgraded AAA membership due to a blown motorcycle tire. So I think I'll be ok. I just hope that I have better luck thank my bike.

in addition to the sunscreen, bring hats. hard to get the sunscreen between the hairs on your head and having a sunburned head is no fun.

a light foot in indiana ( )

cash for the tolls. you're looking at a tollroads 70% of the way from indiana to MA.

Vise Grips, large adjustable wrench, small adjustable wrench, Duct Tape, and roofing caulk that will dry in rain. God forbid you develop a leak in any part of the cooling system, those tools should enable you to access the leak and patch it long enough to get where you are going.

I also have a bit of a preference to a portable car charger/compressor with a built in flashlight. But they ain't tiny
