What did you do with/to your Boxster today?

Not today, but over the past 16 days, I went with a friend from 6th grade (51 years ago) and another couple in another car (friends from 40 years ago) went on an epic Route 66 trip. We stayed almost exclusively off the interstate whenever the highway could be driven without dead-ends, probably 95% of the non-Interstate route that still exists.

Car museums, historical museums, old diners, motels, gas stations, scenic detours, twisty roads thrown in, all family restaurants. Over 5,400 miles driving the route and coming home. 2001S now has over 164,000 miles on it,

Over the weekend I drove down to Atlantic City (151 miles) for a quickie Convention/business meeting. Staying at the Hard Rock which was very nice especially after the Seminole Nation took it over and refurbed everything. Prior it was the Trump Taj Mahal and pretty much disgusting before abandoned and chained closed.
Took a side trip on the way home to visit "Lucy the Elephant" up the road 5-6 miles to Margate, NJ. as a roadside anomaly. Something to see up close. During the Pandemic they rented it as an Airbnb.

Silver Bullet is looking dapper at the hotel check-in after 3 hours/151 miles straight-shot, top down and speeds of 100+ more than a few times. Of course that wasn't because I was driving a Porsche... it was because I was in NJ and everyone was driving 100+mph:



Lucy, been here since the early 1900's but has been rebuilt a few times. See the window in the upper front leg. Yes you can go/climb into it:


You could definitely fit a few Boxsters inside:
