Cool! Love the pic. Must have been a blast. I bought my Boxster in Utah but didn't get a chance to go to the salt flats.

i read that it's bad juju to drive on the salt. not just because it's illegal (the salt layer is a quarter inch thick in most places and mud underneath) but more importantly as you drive all that salt kicks up into the undercarriage and all the nooks and crannies of your car.

it's not the kind of thing you can just take care of with your garden hose.

ps. I actually turn many of my travel pics into computer wallpaper for widescreen monitors. i just added this one. see the last on this link, then use the all sizes>original to get to the main file and right-click save to your computer.

You have captured really nice photos. I have thought that You have to stuff that car more and enjoy long journey. You have also taken good care of that car. I wish that I will also get my car as well position.
