Yep. 'Our' grocery store is literally 1/4 mile up our street. It's literally on our street two blocks up. I can walk there in under 10 minutes.

But it often takes 20+ minutes to get there in the Porsches...and the same back. :-) Crazy how that works.

Eh, grocery runs are too short (as in a 2 minute drive, tops) to take the Boxster out. And driving around town isn't all that fun when dealing with traffic.

But there are some longer routes to go other places which allow more fun (and for the car to get to temp). Those, enjoyable.

You need to take the side/back roads!

I believe that proves the corollary to Einstein's theory of relativity: the distance to any given point is relative to whether it is sunny and you are driving a Boxster.
