The LA Lit and Toy Show, March 7th?
The SoCal All Porsche Swap and Car Show March 8th?
Amelia Island March 13th in Jacksonville, FL?

It seems to me that (with a slight detour to Las Vegas) the cities of Albuquerque, Dallas and Mobile might make up a nice romp across the country.

Thoughts? Ideas? I think it would be cool to drive a 914 from coast to coast. Especially being a featured mark at Amelia. It would be nice to document it. GoPro, Instagram, Blog??? Maybe a few gear head get togethers along the way?

Still thinking about it but... It's beyond intriguing for sure.

One thing for our European brethren to realize: America is really BIG! It's easy to look on a map and say, "Oh yeah, I guess it's big." But when you start comparing distances and such to things you're familiar with, you get a real sense of "OMG that place is HUGE!"

It takes just about the same amount of time for a jet to cross the continental US as it does to fly across the Atlantic Ocean. That is seriously big!

...And, of course, Russia kind of dwarfs the US, unless you count Alaska and/or Hawaii. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
