    The Boxster Does Denali National Park

    Returning from Fairbanks this week provided unlimited photo opportunites of Denali, the tallest mountain in North America - 20,320 feet. Days like this are what life is all about.

    That's what I call serious bug kill.

    Don't you feel guilty for killing so many bugs?

    Re: The Boxster Does Denali National Park

    Believe me, I have ABSOLUTELY no guilt in taking out a few mosquitos. We have PLENTY to spare.

    BTW, I used Rejex on the Boxster before the trip, and the bugs you see on the front of my car came off with only a spray of water - no scrubbing. It was great!

    Thanks everyone for the car compliments, I'm glad you are enjoying the photos.

    Looks like you had a blast - great landscape, nice (and I assume empty) roads. The bug cemetery seems to indicate that Autobahn speed is popular in Alaska also
    Nice carplate and those Cayman S rims indeed look very sporty on your car

    Re: The Boxster Does Denali National Park

    Sadly, the posted speed limit on the Alaskabahn is only 65 MPH in most areas. I have a V1 detector, which picked up one state trooper during the entire roundtrip from Anchorage to Fairbanks (about 750 miles). Wish I could say the same for the number of motor homes on the road!

    The Boxster handles great, but the roads here tend to have unexpected frost heaves, so long periods of triple digit speeds are not common for me. It's just too dangerous.

    The 18" Cayman S wheels were a great choice for these roads. Anything larger would be too rough for extended travel. Switching PASM to Sport Mode firms things up immediately for that "locked to the road" feeling. I am indeed a happy camper. Thanks for all of the great comments and interest in my car and photos. I have enjoyed sharing them.
