Garage
Went for the season's inaugural drive last night.
Out for 2 1/2 hours and did a little exploring.
Am I going to Boxster purgatory for driving on a gravel road?

Hi Steve, you'll be spared, trust me. Real purgatory is living at the end of a 1/2 mile private dirt/gravel road like we do. We're having our road resurfaced in compacted lime crusher this month so conditions should improve greatly. We never drive more than 5 mph on our road to minimize paint damage and dust.

Happy to report that the cars and bikes are handling the conditions much better than my wife and me. We'll be glad to 'make our escape' from the dust when we finish our road
