Default Great Fall Trip!

Wow! Took the 1992 from Bozeman, MT to Missoula, MT and back this weekend. What a great ride down I-90 for 400 miles! Beautiful fall colors, open road, car running great. Got 29.5 miles per gallon on the way home at 80+ MPH. The '92 has 23000 original miles on it and is running great. Anyone who says a beautiful C4 isn't worth the money is so full of it. A beautiful machine in every way! Love my C4!

I forgot to mention the Greenwood body package on my 1992. I love the distinctive look and the improved handling at higher speeds. I was told this car was part of an east coat collection about ten years ago. Sent to Montana about 6 years ago with 6000 miles?

My wife and I rode our motorcycles from Boise, up through Kalispel to Glacier, road to the sun, up to Waterton Park Canada the week after Labor day. We rode 1660 miles in a week. Montana is really God's country.

Sounds like fun.

I took that road a few years ago when we took a road trip vacation from AZ. I love the wide open "big sky" country. A few years before that we took that same road also. It used to be no speed limit and even though we didn't top end the car we still went pretty quick.

C4's are great on a road trip.

We need pictures.

You live in NC. There is a lot of things to see on the east coast. I'm planning another trip to visit Civil War key battlefields.

I just don't like the four seasons crap. I go on depression by just watching snow on TV .
