Nice write-up, and nice mileage--that's in the 911? Fantastic numbers if so.

I always plan on doing a recap of the GGP, and pretty much never do. I get home and get back into the swing of things and that's that. Maybe since I'm sick and just laying around, I'm motivated this...

You can do the Boot with no brakes but you probably won't be able to neutral coast without going over the speed limit. I tried to come into it at 55, lift off and let it coast with default regen...

As it turns out, I will not be able to attend.
