Anyone else going to the Parade?

Just wondering who all is going to the San Diego Porsche Parade this year....

It's only 2130 miles for us.

I was thinking about it. I missed out on it last year when it was only 3 hours away. If I go this year, it's about 20 hours away. I would probably just throw the Boxster in the trailer for the trip as I know I couldn't handle 20 hours in a Boxster that is not setup for long road trips.

I love driving mine on road trips, we were in Portland last year (2200 miles).

With GT3 seats, Cross coilovers, and 19" wheels, I don't think it would be too enjoyable for me. I love the GT3 seats, but for me they are only good for a couple hours. Now if my car was still stock, I would have no problem driving it on long trips. For long trips, that's what my other cars are for.

I'm trying to talk my wife into going, but the problem is that we are going down to cali at the end of this month. I'm not sure if she want to take road trips this year.

We enjoy the trip, usually try to do 400 to 500 miles a day, hit some twisties, hit the tourist spots...
