Sighting - in the middle of nowhere.. Utah


Recommended Posts

After about 2,500 miles since leaving home, had my first Cayenne sighting. A Series-2 ('08-'10) burgandy/reddish GTS on I-70 around the western end of I-70 in Colorado and the eastern end of I-70 in Utah. The 75MPH speed limit seemed to be our minimum speed.. several times we saw the ton. He finally pulled away on a long (like 5 mile) uphill straight (probably 5-6% grade) where the additional power he has made a real difference (plus perhaps he wasn't carrying 1,000lbs of "necessities" and wedding stuff..) We did about 50 miles or so together, and it was sorta cool having two Cayennes blasting past other cars.. looked like an AutoBahn run..

Fun trip so far. Finally had the temperature gauge move off 180.. might have gone to 185F.. during another long uphill climb in Bryce Canyon National Park in 3rd gear. Since it was only about 65F outside I'd turned off the HVAC and had the windows open. Once I shut them and turned the HVAC back on temp quickly returned to 180F. Elevation was a bit under 10,000 feet.. (9,700 and change..)

Photos of the pig in various scenic locals will follow if I ever get a real Interwebz connection..

There was a bronze/gold color GTS parked in the valet parking at the Tropicana in Las Vegas last night and this AM.. what a hot color that is.. it's gonna get me looking to update from the Iceland Silver Metallic (aka - light blue metallic) Titanium edition.

Oh - in LA. Did 3,100 miles - trouble-free. More then I can say for the two BMWs, two Mercedes and one Audi I saw broken down in the desert section of I-15 between LV and LA.. was around 100F in the desert, and the Cayenne has excellent AC.. :)
