Wife and I go on a cruise...
She teaches and her spring break started today, so we got up and headed out....
We get in to Kansas..
And drive for MILES without seeing another vehicle....
Wind up back in Oklahoma at the Greater Salt Plains Wildlife Refuge.....
And as the sunsets....
We make it back home....
LIFE IS GOOD!

I had a rebuild in my 1980 3,000 miles ago. I still seem to burn oil. Not quite as much as you did but I'm always watching oil and gas levels. Congrats on getting your wife to drive around with the tops off, mine won't. Looks like a great time. These sort of ventures are just 1 of the reasons I enjoy my car. MADE TO BE DRIVEN!

Nice 300 plus mile drive in the country with no traffic 
Hard to find roads that aren't filled with cars around here.

The wife and i headed out last night as well in the 73 , absolutely beautiful night , warm still at 8:00 pm , stars shining , shorts on , roofs off and the smell of fuel burning !!!
It was a great 100km cruise that i'm sure will carry on today after she get's a bath !
The car .... not the wife !!!
Hope you all had a great weekend , some real nice pics 73corvette
