Default Road Trip Picture Thread??? Post your pics!

I don't have any of my own yet, but I plan on taking my vette on plenty of long, beautiful road trips. I love some of the amazing pics from PCH to amazing Hawaii to up north drives in Minnesota.

Thought it would be a great idea to start a road trip picture thread!

The Vette is great for roadtrips! Lots of usable luggage space, comfortable, fun to drive, removable top... can't ask for much better. (Oh yeah - great gas milage too!).

Took my new '07 out for a drive from Seattle to Salt Lake City to Denver to Yellowstone, and then back home. Great way to spend a week or so.

It was a lot of fun - my wife had never taken a road trip, so she was hesitant at first, but now she wants to go on another!

She did start to think I was crazy though... I washed the car 3 times on that trip... couldn't stand having that many bugs on there.

No pictures or even the Vette yet but this is the reason why I have one on order. Tired of trips on the Harley. See the USA in your Cheby.

This thread wets my appetite.

Pictures from my vacation last year.

The first 2 are heading up the Beartooth form the Wyoming side:





One of my wifes best pictures, a tour bus heading into Glacier National Park.



The Vette with Lake St. Mary in the background.



Trip is almost over. The Columbia River near Vantage.




Over 7000 miles in 3 weeks. This was my 2nd very long distance trip with the car. IMO it is by far the best car I have ever owned for these type of trips.

Indeed, lots of really great pics in this thread!

The C6 is probably the ultimate car for this type of touring. Extreme comfort, extreme power and handling and great mpg.

Yes, I'm very glad to see lots of C6 people truly using the car. That's what they're made for.
