Nice car and beautiful color combo! Go to CostCo and pick up some replacement wiper blades for $8 a pop instead of having the stealership charge you $60 for what I consider to be lower quality wipers You'll be all set - have a nice drive back home.

 

Beautiful car - I've seen that on their site before. I'm only an hour South of Cleveland, but you could crash at my place if you wanted. Actually, I shouldn't say "crash"...

 

I've never driven it in the rain but this will give you an idea of what that section of 421 is like.

 

Great looking car. I wouldn't touch the wheels they are in my opinion the best option for the 997.

 

When i made the transition from 996 to 997 it was like night and day, the 996 was great, but the 997 was more practical, refined & easier to drive every day- i loved it! too bad i wrecked it now i'm driving a BMW M6 V10 510HP but still can't get the satisfaction i got from the Porsche!

 

Love it! It definitely checks all the right boxes. I also went up from a 996 to a 997. You're gonna love it.

 

Thanks for the generous offer! We are going to try to make it down I77 to I81 tomorrow. When we wake up Saturday morning we'll make the decision on whether to head to Bristol and up 421.

Thanks for all the well wishes and compliments everyone. The Porsche community is fantastic.

Looking forward to tomorrow!!

 

Thanks for sharing the video. Wish the weather was going to be better. A little apprehensive about making the detour and spending the day in the clouds on an unfamiliar mountain rd., but we'll see how it turns out.

 

I already ordered the $70 wipers from the dealer and all weather mats. I actually called back to cancel because RJ at Goldman's said he would give me some rubber mats and take care of the wipers...but the guy at Porsche said they were already out on the truck for delivery.

 

Love that blue 911. Congratulations! Why not take I-75 back from Cincy to Knoxville? Or, you could get off I-75 in Corbin, KY, and drive through London to Middlesboro and Cumberland Gap and over Clinch Mountain to 25-E and Morristown, Tennessee. From there it's easy to cut over to Elizabethton and a great highway north of I-40 through the mountains to I-26 and Asheville. Or, you can just get on I-40 and motor through the mountains directly from Morristown to Asheville. I'll be in Asheville that Friday/Saturday. If you have time to get together, I'd love to see the car. PM me.

 

At the airport in CLT now. I will take a look at that route, but I'm meeting friends in CLT on the way back through.

If you're in Columbia you should come down to Charleston Cars and Coffee one Saturday. We meet every Saturday. Search for Charleston Cars and Coffee on FaceBook.

 

Gorgeous!

 

Sounds like fun. I think there are several of us in SC. We could make it a road trip. Thanks, and have a great time on the drive home.

 

Sweet ride don! Did you get a PPI before buying the car? I ask because I want to know if you were concerned about the whole RMS leak issues that usually comes with these yr models...

 

All the way back in Charlotte now. Ended up just coming straight down 77 to stay with friends here in CLT.

LONG DAY, but it was a blast.
