Fly, boxster, tail, home

Up early this morning to board a plane to Atlanta. Rough plan is to pick up a boxster s, drive to the tail of the dragon, then drive home.

More details as they emerge!

That's awful. Must suck to be you. 
 

Seriously, I'm just projecting. I hope you have a great time! 

Awesome! Following.

Safe travels 

I hope you find some dry time on The Dragon, but it looks like the weather is giving you the finger

This thread needs pics!!!

In reply to 84FSP :

Haha. Here you go!

In reply to gumby :

That is a weather finger if I've ever seen one. Luckily the dragon day is planned for tomorrow.

Ooh boy.  This will be fun to follow along 

Excited to follow along!

I was expecting a different type of tail.

HA!

Unfortunately I don't think even a Porsche can help me there.

In other news, as an aero nerd, I did happen to notice this sweet naca duct on the side of a 737.

Now that FP2 for F1 is over my F5 energy transitions to this thread. 

Used Boxster... if its been driven little in the last few years, check tires before the Tail. Good shoes make a big difference. (...obviously, but I've noticed a lot of low mile Boxsters with 10+ year old tires.)

Playing around with the maps while I patiently await my co-driver. I think this is the route we will target. Many of these roads have been recommended to me from various folks.

tell your copilot to pick up his calipers!

Hahahahaha he just landed and apparently his flight was a vomit comet. Lots of wind in ATL right now. 

But he's safe on the ground.

I'll tell him.

Oh heck yes 10000000% yes yes yes

I'm in the area should any needs arise on the first leg of the trip. Looking forward to the documentation.

Probably for the apu (auxiliary power unit.)

Cool! I also flew into Atlanta today, but no Porsche, no tail, and no dragon. T'was a might rock n rolly on the descent, with what seemed like some extended maneuvering beforehand.

Been a while since I've been here and I forgot how impressive the thunderstorms can be.

Have a great adventure! Dodge the rain.

Nice!  I'm in for updates.

Had damn near tornado sideways rain around 5:30 at my place north of Atlanta this evening. Glad you and copilot landed safely.

More pictures!

Here's picking up the car last night. Got to hotel, and went to sleep.

Breakfast, and then the road!

Dahlonega, and top is down.
