Careful on the wet roads. These things can get away from you quick. What interstate are you driving.

Back roads out of Dearborn, US12 to 127 then over to Indy (I think....route is in car) then down to BG in the interstate.

I just paid $750 to have mine transported back to Texas. I hate long distance drives.

But congrats, our cars are twins!

Ok, that is twice now.

Drove out of the Museum in 2015 with my Stingray.....straight into a monsoon.

Today, I narrowly miss some nasty storms as I was coming South towards Louisville. Missed some hail there! Drove 150 miles extra, to the East and managed to avoiding the bad stuff BUT I got rained on again on the first day of owning the car. Can't they stay shiny for at least a day?

Oh, and that car is a beast. I love it!!!!

Good that you got home safe. I was coming back to Boston's south shore in October after trip to California and ran over an armadillo on 35 between Austin & Waco. If I wasn't going to look for some lost cousins in Austin I never would have been on 35 at all. I broke my visual carbon fiber chin splitter and deflector package behind that.

Ouch. Yep, the critters will get ya. What the hell was he doing on I35?

Hell, I backed over one in my driveway going like 1mph. Scared the crap out of me when I heard the flopping around. I don't think they move too fast.
