Houston Boxster Trip Pix!

Hey! I just got home from our half day road trip in the hill country NW of Houston.

Stanislaus was driving his hardtopped-silver 02 S, Mike was driving his (get this ... Audi TT Quattro hardtop. Traded his boxster in three days ago for it!) and me in my 97.

I mapped out the trip, but early on Stanislaus took the lead and pushed it to 146 mph. Mike's TT topped out at 130 (evidently has a speed limiter) and I lagged behind, only hitting 126. I was creeping up on them, but after dodging a tall white bird of some sort and killing a squirrel, I decided finding my top speed wasn't that important!

Here's some pix for you all to see. The speedo shot at the bottom was not my top speed, but I did manage to squeeze off a shot of my speedo while clipping along and following the other two speed demons.

Oh yes... there were lots of twisty roads as well we all enjoyed at 80~90 mph. I believe a good time was had by all!

Im in the east bay, and its a little cheaper here than the peninsula. Where I am, its
around 2.69 a gallon for super. Thats for the tier one stuff, 76, shell, chevron. If you
shop around a bit, you might find some cheaper prices.

Have a great trip out here, and enjoy the weather!!

Seems like a cool little get together ......I think theres about 3 Boxsters on this island all toll, maybe a couple more ....Plenty of older 911's tho.....

Hitting a squirrel at 126.....Must have turned him to dust

I never hit one critter in 23 years of driving til I came out to Hawaii.....2 birds and a mongoose so far!

I too would LOVE to pay 2.25 a gallon....2.95 out here
