38,000 miles

 The Boxster hit 38,000 miles 19 minutes after midnight on Monday, September 8!

It was a late night drive, so the picture is a little blurry.  It happened as I drove Faris from South Bend to Chicago, just as we passed mile 69 westbound on I-80.  It was my first longish night drive, top up.  The car has fantastic headlights and is just a pleasure to drive.  It's a phenomenal car!

Why was I driving Faris back to Chicago late on a Sunday night?  Long story short, he came to visit, went to play pickleball with us, and ended up falling and breaking his wrist.

Within moments of the break, Allison got an ice pack to alleviate the swelling.  I drove him to the ER where he was processed relatively quickly.

Since he has a clipped wing, I'll be driving him and generally looking after him as he prepares for surgery to repair the break.

One of my favorite reactions to the 38K milestone was Allison's reaction:

It makes me profoundly happy that she really enjoys the car every day.  It makes me happy that she's experiencing the delights of owning something that is truly fun to drive, be in, and look at.
