I did find time for a car wash and drive through all the cloverleafs of 405 early this morning before anyone was up, just for fun before hitting the gym! Merry Christmas to all!
I-90

My Brother-In-Law live in Soux Falls.....Talking about I-90 blah blah blah.

Love to take my Turbo out on I-90..No Speed Limit!

Great, yep, that's out in North Bend. I went for a ride east on I-90 when it was new and wanted a pic with Mt. Si in the background.

Happy holidays to all. Glad to see so many folks from the Seattle area here.

Directions to Boston from my house: left at the first two stop signs, enter I-90 on-ramp, take a right 3000 miles later

Aha, you dont say?

Jason, let's organize a 997TT drive this spring since there are quite a few. Sunny day and some good cameras - no place prettier than the PNW in the sun with some turbo's as the subject matter! (After a good drive of course!)

Some of us will be heading down to Santa Barbara at the end of April for a week of driving the twisties. Plan on it!

Email Larry or me and we'll be sure to put you on the list and give you hotel information. You'd need to make hotel reservations ASAP for Santa Barbara. We're planning to visit RSS and maybe Lucent.
