Fun on the road

Many of us have been rolling on the highway when the person on the next lane looks like he's getting seizure and its all that they're waving to let you know they LOVE your car! yay! this happened yesterday while driving on NY 278. The lady passenger in a gorgeous Audi A5 was waving and giving me thumbs up when i noticed. Its not the first time, but it doesn't get old. People recognize the 928 and if not, they recognize how beautiful a car it is.

On a side note. I visited Iceland a few weeks ago, i was on the bus from the airport to Reykjavik when getting closer to the city, near one of the few traffic lights, what stops next to the bus? a glossy black 928 S4, at least, couldn't read if it was a GTS or otherwise since the light turned green soon as i looked. I heard to car speed away... that was a nice welcome to my vacation!

Well lets start a video thread then to tell those stories.

Deb and I took the Porsche camping down through BC and put on 4800 kilometers and used up a set of rear tires.

This video below shows where at one point we crossed a small uneven bridge and levt the ground for a second at around 180 Kph.
it was right after that in the 180 k corner the tire squeal started to freak Deb out.

Enjoy
BTW everyone smiled as I drove by

High speed camping through the BC mountains

videos would be awesome! your narrative (ne point we crossed a small uneven bridge and levt the ground for a second at around 180 Kph) sounds like something in the dukes of hazzard, heh!

It got the wife a little excited lol

had the pleasure of doing this drive last Sunday, goo.gl/maps/e0y0A

It was quite fun until it started pouring! then it was just ok cause there were so many puddles on the taconic.

NOT so fun on the road.

Saturday morning I was taking my 928 to get an alignment at 8:00 am. Headed out a little early to get the car warmed up some because the shop was only 1/4 mile away. The outside temp was below freezing since there was frost but didn't think much about it. Drove about 1 1/2 miles or so on some very twisty dry roads and was taking them pretty fast. In hind sight, faster than I should have. Hit a bend that turns sharp to the right then turns sharp to the left and at the first right bend the rear end slid out into the on coming lane, counter steered and the rear slid out the opposite way. Counter steered again until I was back in control. Kept the car on the road but if there was oncoming traffic I would have been toast. Scared the shit out of me!

Roads were dry but cold and with my worn summer tires this was not a good combination to drive fast with. I really dodged a bullet! After that, I was thanking God all the way to the shop! Lesson learned!
