was using my left foot for the gas after about 500 miles into it because my right foot was numb from holding the pedal down.

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Had to go to Salt Lake City yesterday for an appointment. Boy, the Boxster is a great mile-eater. It seems to compress the distance! Very little traffic (until I-80). I got 27-28.5 MPG, driving at 75-120 (only did that for a short distance on a deserted stretch along the Utah/Wyoming border
) MPH! I didn't even feel too wiped out either, after driving for nearly 9 hours!
I've made several long trips the past year to pick up a Boxster and bring it back to SW Okla. One trip from Tucson, the other from Phoenix.
There's nothing better than a Boxster to eat up the miles on a road trip and keep you smiling the whole time!
Ok, so - I drove from PHX to SJC in one shot. Almost died. was using my left foot for the gas after about 500 miles into it because my right foot was numb from holding the pedal down. Butt ached, back hurt...would have paid just about anything for cruise control!!
The most miles-in-a-short-time I did was when I bought it in Sacramento CA, and drove it home to Montreal via route 66, Memphis (Graceland), and the Blue Ridge Parkway ( early morning weekday, did it howl through those, ahem, 25 mph curves?). First Porsche, great ride, great memories!
Hear that BIGJake111; cruise control can be pretty useful. Wow, Phoenix to San Jose; 700 miles! Thank God I have cruise control
!! I once (when I was younger) did over 700 miles in a day on a motorcycle, and it wasn't a Gold Wing either. Don't think I'd survive doing that now!
Come to think of it, I drove my noisy diesel truck to Los Angeles (982 miles) in one day a couple of winters ago. I could barely move when I got there, and I was vibrating.
Well, Late January of 2014 I got up on a Saturday morning and flew from Panama City Beach to Austin to by a 2003 Box S. I picked it up at the airport about 3pm and headed back home. I would have made it the entire 850 miles but around 12:30am I just happened to detour in Biloxi to play Blackjack for a few hours! I didn't get rich but I did make enough to pay for a hotel room for the night!
Fun trip!
I have done some pretty good road trips myself. OK to Tucson, OK to Panama City, flew to allentown pa and drove back to OK, OK to stowe vermont. My back can not handle that anymore in a car sonmy long road trips are over.
950 miles, straight down to Fla. 3 stops to fill the tank, 2 extra to drain the tank
Did have to find new positions to keep my seat alive
Would have been another story without cruise control. (BigJake???)
Last 50 miles I was already getting depressed I had to stop driving
I did have a bit of sun burn as I was top down for about 800+ of those miles
With 70k miles on the clock, car never complained
It was 1200 miles back home via Blue Ridge Parkway. 25 mph turns HA, HA HA
Skyline drive 35 mph speed limit HA, HA HA
Uh, no, I searched and found it. It was definitely BJ, "What option would you not skimp out on?" thread
:
"As for cruise control as an option, I have never used it and have never seen anyone else use it. Maybe it's just not a southern thing?"
