Thanks for the kind words everyone. The trip was honestly the most fun I have ever had, and I'm glad you have all enjoyed the photos.

As for the complaints about the lack of girls in the photos...I'll work on that, I promise.

Haven't added up my gas receipts yet either...don't wanna, haha

Great thread, great pics and a great trip!

BTW, La Grange, TX has a bit of notoriety trivia - do you know what it is?

Great story, great pics, great trip!

I was telling my daughter about how you were driving cross country in yours while we were out driving around in mine. Definitely something we both thought was really cool! A real inspiration!

It's almost like we went with you. Thanks for the memories. Northern Arizona is my old stomping grounds so it was nice to see photos of Sedona and what not. I love road trips.

Nice Pictures!
Reminds me of when I drove a 1969 from Dallas to A.A.F.B Md.when I was in the Service. What a sense of freedom. See America in your Corvette.

Looks like you had a real cool adventure. Nice pictures. Just curious - how'd your engine take to all the elevation changes? Did you have to change jets at any point? Did you notice a significant drop in power going through the mountains of the S.W?

Great job, I appreciate you sharing the photos.

Hmmmm, seems like I remember a question quite a while back about "should I or should I not make this trip?".........I think I know your answer!
