Porsche fans - 9,971 miles - 26 days

Landed at home base Saturday afternoon after an extended 26 day road trip. Touched all four borders eight National Parks & short of a skid pad, just about every road type; Tail of the Dragon to off-road and everything in befweeen.
If interested, there is a recap of the journey on the Rennlist “General Porsche Discussion” forum:

I didn’t intend for the thread to be a journal of the trip, but it ended up that way. A little long, but you might enjoy.
This was the third attempt to complete the trek. The previous two summer attempts ended after day one when respiratory issues forced a return, so it was pretty special for this old guy :-)

I dont have a sports car but that sounds like a damn good time.
With soo much traffic in most cities its still a great feeling to find a nice stretch of empty roads with great scenery.

Yeah I was curious what the 4 boarders meant as well

I love this, thanks for posting (also very cool to see a fellow Rennlist poster in the OT Lounge)! 
It also makes me feel like a terrible owner that you did 9,971 miles in 26 days, and I just crossed the 5,000 mile mark in my daily driver 992 after about 19 months

That was a very cool read. Thanks for sharing And your car still sparkled even through all those miles. How did it handle in the storms?

I haven't done the Dragon in awhile now. Went to Minis on the Dragon for about five years straight.

bucket list item for sure. I just sold a 997C4S and am already kicking myself.

Sweet Targa! You don’t see many of them on the road, but I find them to be way cooler looking than the convertible 911s and more exotic overall.

What kind of law do you practice to roll around in a $200k car? My assumption is personal injury. I swear I’m in the wrong practice.

Wow look at Mr plutocrat over here driving his porche not having to go to work for 26 days while the rest of us out here are literally dying from income inequality and climate change

Also a Rennlist/TD crossover guy here. Was reflicting on the mileage - have 2500 on the clock for daily driver ('23 Cayenne S)- but that has come since Jan 1 of this year, lol. Happy trails, good read.
