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.

Thanks! Pentax K-3 with (mostly) Pentax 16-50 f/2.8 and Sigma 70-200 f/2.8.
Nice - thanks for sharing! Looks like a great trip.
Nice photos vitaminC. I have several very similar photos from our trip to, and during, Escape 2015 including this one. And another spectacular sunset shot (minus the cars though) Since you're from the Bay Area, I guess you are not the guy from San Diego who insisted he drove the longest distance to Escape. (with apologies to the RL community as you had to be there to understand what this is all about). It was a great time despite the weather, especially Saturday.
That surprises me. Black bad *** wheels and the original pumpkins still in place.
Awesome pics! =)

Maybe they should score it like PAX, with a multiplier based on the age and comfort level of your car! Yeah, even with the wet weather, it was still a great event.

It's just plasti-dip over the OEM 17"-ers!
Wow! Some seriously great photography! That sunset shot with the p cars is gorgeous. I dig the fog picture too. Glad you enjoyed the trip and the car performed well.
Living in jersey sucks. Beautiful pictures.

Beautiful pics! Thanks for sharing...
Beautiful pictures! Nice. trip.
Thanks, all! I appreciate the compliments. Only downside of this trip is that it's taking a lot of work to get the car clean again...

When we got back from the Rushmore/Needles drive on Saturday afternoon, I remarked to my wife that I had never seen so much debris (mud really) on the Porsche. The wash facilities the hotel provided worked OK, but I now know what supplies to bring with me to the next such event so I can wash the car without risking so many fine scratches in the paint.
I'm surprised you didn't post a snapshot of the Rapid City dino's.... On your next trip into Wyoming try a little road called 130 thru the Bad Medicine mountains, just west of Laramie ... highly recommended. Match that with US 50 from Delta Utah to Virginia City and 341 to Reno. So many good ways to get thru the Sierra Nevada's I drove out from South Lake Tahoe on 4 down thru Angle Camp and 49 to Mariposa. In route from Minneapolis to Rennsport V. The return was back on 88 from Jackson to Carson City. Like you and that young good looking lady you travel with - we still have a smile from our travels in our 996's. If only I had the talent to take some wonderful photos like you have....
awesome pics!

We did go to dino park! Were you the one we were talking to? Yes, so many good roads that we did not have sufficient time to explore
Great Photos�.Would have liked to have been there�.Dane
Yup that's our two silver 996's in the dino parking lot. Thank you for posting - your photos are great. If others ever get the chance to drive the western states roads, do it, - they are way fun.
