Packed up the Macan GTS and hit the road. HWY 395 to Tahoe. Did the same trip last year in our overachieving Honda Fit Sport which did well but other than gas milage the Porsche is certainly an upgrade. From Tahoe we went to the San Francisco bay area and...  

Great post !...

don't do it justice. Its totally off the chart. I really wish I could have gotten to it slightly earlier light wise (unwanted shadows from other boats) and that it wasn't so close to the giant plastic boat on its port side. Then again, thankyou universe f...

I suppose you "might" say my very first car was related .... a '64 VW beetle. Other than that and one Fiat (128 4 door) I've been Japan-Man all my life (cars and bikes) so its basically a new experience for me. So far we are liking it. I had sold the PD P... 

Nice story, Mr In Debt But On Time

Thanks for posting it so we could all go along. How did you manage to talk your way onto the Thunderbird? Did Judy help? I can see she knows her way around wooden boats. Cazalea ...  

Ha Ha... that was a fun day! Anyway I thought I saw it in the marina across the street from our top floor room at the Peppertree Inn.

Pulled out my RX-10 III and zoomed in and said "that's the Thunderbird down there". She looked through the viewfinder and still didn't belive it was the Thunderbird. I went to look (with camera) and sure enough it was the boat in question. One of the crew...  

Thanks for sharing your road trip! You make the USA very attractive! Haven't been yet!

One mission thing, the picture of the Honda Fit! Best, É.

We not only did the same loop last year

 
 By: InDebtButOnTime : September 26th, 2019-14:38
we even had the same awesome rooms at both the Peppertree Inn (Tahoe City) and at the Cavalier in San Simeon. Just different wheels! this is a great little hatch! Keepin' it 'till the wheels fall off! ...  

A bit different but still nice :)

Love the first photo with the Blancpain. Really impressed someone was trunking it... the water is NOT that warm that north. You and Judy really had a great time and glad to see the Porsche Design back with the Porsche Macan.

Thanks!

Oh, you're right on that one!

I waded in and it was definitely a full suit zone. I saw no one with a shorty and no one without booties for that matter. Tasty little tubes there though! Felt like high 50s-low 60s.

High 50s is "Ice Cream Headache" territory

Couldn't pay me to trunk it in that

Glad you enjoyed it! [nt]

San Simeon

is also a great place to head north from on HWY1. A ton of beauty for a lot of miles... winding along the cliffs next to the Pacific. I highly recommend it!
