Cross country drive to take 928 home
Hi-
I bought PerryS4's 1990 S4. Driving it home from Santa Ana to Dubuque IA via Las Vegas, Denver, Lincoln, Des Moines and Dubuque. Ron said I should post this here and let the group know I bought his car. Trying to figure out how to add a signature but the User CP doesn't show an area to this tired brain right now.

Congrats on the car - it sure looks like a good one.
I've driven two across country - if you thought you liked these cars before, you'll absolutely love it after a long road trip! Keep a journal and take lots of pics to post up here. Good luck with the drive!

Congrats on your purchase. Have a very safe and fun drive back to Iowa too. My first 928 drive was to bring my car from Denver home to SoCal. Nothing like an extended cruise/tour to appreciate what a fine GT car you've acquired!
Take good care of the car. The SoCal crew has more than a few hours invested in that car to keep it nice. As the new caretaker, the duty now passes to you to continue the tradition. Fine dry-climate cars are getting rare as the years go by. As much as Porsche did a good job with rust management on the cars, with galvanizing, protectant sprays and undercoating, finding one like Ron's with NO damage at all is going to be a real treat in Iowa. Maintenence is so much easier. Enjoy!

Congrats on acquiring your 928! Have a safe and enjoyable trip to IA. A cross country trip in a 928 is the only way to fly! A radar detector is a great investment.

Jeff,
Congrats and welcome!! It's been almost 2 years since I made the trip with my dad from Dallas to Atlanta to pick up the GTS and drive her home. I spent more time with my dad in a car than I probably had since I was a kid. Had a blast with him and the car on the way back. Memories for a lifetime!
Document the trip man, safe travels!!
