That's amazing! Hopefully you were doing the speed limit. I driven that same route many times.

Be sure to save the screen captures because every couple of years they run the van through the area to update the maps.

Cool!
It's hard to get in and out of Ohio without getting your picture taken but normally it's the State Police.
Hope you don't judge the whole state by Elyria, there are some great Corvette roads down here in the south east part of the state. Going on the annual fall Corvette cruise Saturday, 216 miles of hills and curves. I'll try to get some pictures to post.
Thanks for the great thread, beautiful car and pictures.

Whodathunk a ghost could be captured by a camera? Always thought they were s'posed to be invisible -- even to cameras.

Nice souvenirs from your trip.

Live well,
