Congrats on your purchase and welcome to the club! 'Old but moderately modern' describes the 968 to a T. Stil has a few creature comforts (power seats, windows, sunroof) and performance goodies (ABS, variable cam timing, 6 speed, excellent brakes) but it's not overloaded with today's avalanche of electronic gizmos so it's not too porky.
Post some pics of your car during the trip if you took any.

Welcome! Glad you found a cab, you'll find it loads of fun when you put the top down. I sold my 87 944S when I bought my 968, no regrets. It's a better Porsche.
You might consider letting the 968 Register know you now own the car. They maintain separate registries for coupes and cabs, available on-line.
Enjoy the Forum!

Funny, last September I flew out to Peoria with a buddy from CT. He purchased a 1970 'Cuda 340 convertible project car so we picked it up and drove 15 hours straight back to CT in a u-haul with a trailer attached. What a drive. Enjoy your cab. My last cab was Amazon Green, they only produced 100 of them in that color for North America, everyone likes that color.

Screen names are becoming less creative of late.
I love my 968 for what it is & don't hate it for what it isn't!
