A little trip in the Turbo

Took a trip out to the west coast of FL (Sanibel) with the wife. This was the first lengthy drive in the pcar and what a joy. This car has really turned out to be the best car I've owned, it does everything well. It was 150 miles and comfortable, 19 mpg wasn't to bad either. Thanks for looking!

Little hot


Alligator Alley had some open road for me to open it up a little also

Love that part of Florida. We were just in Key West for some fun and sun. These cars get better the more you drive them. You realize they can do many things well and civilized enough when you want it to be for the wife to enjoy. Good for you.

Oh, the Alley. When I lived in Delray I used to go to Naples with my girlfriend (who then became my wife) and traveled the AA many times. Straight and boring but a good opportunity to get into the loud pedal.

Nice pix, thanks for sharing. Brings back memories.

No driving on the beach, it was painful enough to see all the sand being tracked into the car. Our parking lot was made up of broken shells and dust.....ugh. Nevertheless enjoyed every min.
