Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Suspected cause
I've made the round trip 4 times..only once in the Porsche, though) You'll want to be sure you go through the WA, ID border during the daytime 'cause the scenery at that point is probably the best.
Leading evidence: 'best' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'best' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

Auto Club Trip Tic & associated maps are great for road trips
I-5 to I-90 will get you there in a jiffy
and I-80, I-84 for a more southern return
how many miles a day do you plan on?
make sure youre pump and jack work, and you've got everything dialed in case of a flat tire or otherwise...
My 2000 C4 had the tiniest (crappiest)spare in the boot, which luckily I never needed.
Top off all your vital fluids, and PACK carefully...there isnt alot of storage space left in a modern day 911.996...especially a c4
MJ makes a good point about maps and routes. Only other suggestion I would offer is to take a copy of Pano with you that lists all of the PCA regions, names, etc. I also went on
www.pca.org
and got the names of a few Porsche dealers in cities along my route. I went from Phila to Seattle back in 1997 with a 1977 911S. I made sure I had all necessary tools, air pump, extra belts, oil, and antifreeze in your case, plenty of w.washer stuff, bug remover, rags for all the bugs you're going to hit. I also left each day about 4AM to get a few hours under my belt before it got too hot! (I'm really not paranoid...I just play one on this Forum. I've made the round trip 4 times..only once in the Porsche, though) You'll want to be sure you go through the WA, ID border during the daytime 'cause the scenery at that point is probably the best. you'll see on the trip.
Have a great trip!
Two large cans of flat tire fix may save you from having to deal with the "spare tire", an extra quart of oil since what you want may not be available at the local truck stop, and a cigarette light charger for your cell phone. I wouldn't want to cross Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio without a Valentine 1. I80/94 are heavily patrolled on the week-ends. Have fun. AS
Pick a nice route and that will be a great trip.
My only worries would be the C4's Spare tire .... if you actually need it. I dont have any experience with the fixa flat cans but that sounds like a great idea.
Safe travels!
1. Buy a bra. Speed Lingerie makes color-matched ones (I just bought a speed yellow bra for my California road trip). Don't forget mirror covers.
2. Bring a quart or two of correct Mobil 1. It can be hard to find when you need it.
3. Buy a cover. You never know where you'll wind up parking.
4. Relax! It's your car, it's made for this!
Happy Trails,

Definitely buy a bra. I remember when I bought my c43 in houston texas and drove it all the way back to la, ca. Everything was fine but there are mass big rigs out there and I got this huge rock chip from one. I was soooo pissed! also for me with my supple leather seats my *** would hurt after a few hours of driving but then again I would sit rather forward and erect. I would recline the seat a bit. You might consider buying an ipaq or something and getting the gps software for the trip always fun. I had one for a while and it made long drives easy. One more thing you will need more than 1 cd cartridge and a buch of cd's! make sure you have them in the car so you can pop out the old ones and get it ready for the pit!
