Live Updates: What happens when we drive a broken Porsche across the country?

Because we're in Texas, the Porsche is technically dining at a local farm to table restaurant. 

In reply to Nicole Suddard :

Its not much better in FL. Hot and super humid. Enjoy the reduced humidity.

Cool looking phone windshield mount. Would you share the details on it?

Oops, sorry--missed this earlier. It's a Quadlock. Their stuff seems overpriced at first, but after using it I'm hooked and I have one for every bike/motorcycle/car. 

Thanks!

For all the fans of breakfast cereal and/or the movie Hell or High Water (2016) out there.

I think you should post a postcard from Post at the Post post office.

Yo dawg i heard you liked Xzibit so i put some Xzibit on your Xzibit!

Also, although i quit drinking way back, stop at a Specs Liquor and get stock up on really good tequila for "cheap". 
and a HEB super grocery store. Maybe a taco cabana too. A few "Texas" things. 

Next gas stop = Buc-ees!

Back on the road, and our entire path has excessive heat warnings in effect today. Woo!

Destination motivation:

Making good time as we head across West Texas! Next stop? Cooper's BBQ in Llano. Andy has assured us it's excellent, and that there's a "free tub of beans in the back of the eating area!"

I should also post a picture of today's T-shirt. I figured it was fitting not because of Texas's power grid, but because of what's waiting for us at Andy's house this afternoon....

In reply to Andy Hollis :

There's no way the water won't evaporate by the time we get there. I opened a water bottle and every water molecule shot out of it like a genie on its way to visit the sun. 

Coopers is an awesome place to go get some lunch. Much better than what I got for sure.

This is reminding me when I brought betty home from FM and it was a slightly warm 117 degrees in Lubbock. I felt like I was officially in you know where that night.

How about some more beans, Mr. Taggart?

From my all-time favorite movie...well played, sir.

The bad news: we ordered too much food

The good news: we are taking home delicious leftovers for later

In reply to Nicole Suddard :

How is ordering too much great food bad news?? 

In reply to bmw88rider :

Because we couldn't eat it all!

Made it to Andy and Ann's house! As is tradition on this trip, we picked up a bottle of wine as a thank-you for storing a car. I know nothing about wine, but Andy said he liked this a few pages back so I figured it was the right choice.

What's that? What car is Andy storing for us? Well, it's time to come clean about this trip. It's not just a trip to retrieve a broken Porsche.... it's also a trip to pick up my new truck. I've been shopping for an F-150 Lightning for months, and the best deal in the country popped up a few minutes from Andy's house a few weeks ago. Since we were already headed through here with the Porsche, it seemed like a perfect plan.

Before we play with the truck, though, it's time to play with race cars! Andy and I are taking his One Lap CRX to Harris Hill Raceway tomorrow so I can finally experience "God's Chariot."

Towing the ev truck back to Florida with the Porsche is a bold move Cotton.

So does the Porsche get to play on the track too? :)

Ooo, way to bury the lede! I guess the Hybrid Maverick build thread is going to come to a screeching halt just after the truck showed up. 

Wow! This road trip took an unexpected turn!  Although, there was some foreshadowing.
