6 Reasons to Go on a Road Trip in Your Porsche
1. Be an Explorer!
You work all week and likely find yourself bogged down in the grind of everything, looking forward to a weekend of relaxing and doing a whole bunch of nothing. However, if you dare to venture out, there are a bevy of places you could find yourself at if you take on the challenge of exploring. See a bit of the iconic Route 66, travel down Interstate 95, check out the Lincoln Highway or maneuver the turns of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The key thing to remember is to go out and find some great roads and places that you might have previously told yourself one day you'd get to it. Grab those keys, a significant other or buddy, and make some memories happen!
2. Flying is Overrated
Why deal with the hassle of packing luggage just to have to rush to an airport and endure the TSA lines just to be at the mercy of your chosen airline's whims? With your Porsche awaiting you, there are no delays, turbulence, or small, sad bags of seasoned peanuts that are given out so scantily as if they're new currency in an awful new world. Taking your Porsche out with you will only strengthen the bond that you have with the car due to time spent together. Other owners will be jealous of the knowledge and experience you possess of your car.
3. The Driving Experience
There is nothing else in the production world that is remotely close to driving a Porsche , and you own one. Pick a destination, or don't; when behind the wheel with a full tank of gas, it really doesn't matter where you go. The engineers of past and present have imbued the car with an almost telepathic nature where it seems the car knows what you want it to do at the same time you want it to do it. This symbiotic relationship that will come over you will push and urge you to get comfortable and display the wonder of Porsche to your surrounding world. The power, grip, and styling make the Porsche a natural in any environment it encounters.
4. The Scenery
Another plus in taking a road trip is encountering varying landscapes that will serve as amazing backdrops for your Porsche to play supermodel in. For those of us who live in an urban setting, we can have the chance to breathe some fresh air and escape the hustle of the crowded cityscape. Earth is a beautiful place, and you'll kick yourself for not getting out sooner to get back in touch with nature. If you have a certain natural treasure in mind, then set the course and prepare yourself because we know your Porsche is up for the drive there.
5. The Food
We are in the midst of a culinary revolution, and there are things out there that you need to experience for the sake of saying "oh yeah, I had that" to envious so-called foodies. So many cuisines in so many different cities to try, and your Porsche will be eagerly awaiting the roads that will take you there. Deep dish pizza in Chicago? Gumbo in Louisiana? Street tacos in Southern California? BBQ in Texas? What in the heck are you waiting for? Don't accept local substitutes; just drive to the proper region and get a taste for yourself.
6. Meeting People
Whether it's a happenstance car meet or another enthusiast that you encounter while out on your drive, there are others that share your passion for cars and are more than happy to pull over and converse with you. A good number of Porsche owners will give you a head nod or a wave to acknowledge you as a member of the family as you pass each other on the road. You could even inspire the next generation Porsche owner by pulling up next to a bored child sitting in the backseat of another car. When you look over and see the look of wonderment on their face, you will know that your car has just planted the seed that will grow for years to come. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and live life beside your Porsche the way you've always wanted to.
