Default Road Trip!

5,215.6 miles with 25.1 mpg average until I got stuck in traffic 50 miles from home: mpg dropped to 24.9. Trip duration 18 days.

Traveled through Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Oregon, California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. '94 C4 110,000 on the clock at the beginning of the trip, arrived home with odo in excess of 115,000......

In the West Texas town of Sonora I stopped for coffee and directions, guy coming out the door said, "Nice car." I replied, "Thanks, it's old and has more than 114,000 on it." He said, "Yeah, but it's still a Vette!"

He's right, I feel a couple more trips coming on.... long ones. :hurray:

I am taking my 93 on a trip in June. From Pa to the NCM, up to Indy, then to Auburn and then maybe MI and then home. Should be a few thousand on the clock when its all said and done. I can not wait :steering:

That sounds great. I will have my house paid off in August, so in September my wife and I are going to go on a 7 or 8 day trip in our 95 coupe. Do not know were yet, but it really dosen't matter.
