Default Taking a trip this weekend

Well, I'm leaving Ohio tomorrow to go to WI to visit my family for Memorial Day weekend. And I'm taking the Vette, of course. This trip will be a great test for the B&B Bullets I installed a week ago. They sound incredible around town, but a 10 hour drive on the hiway may be a different story.

Have a great Memorial Day everyone!

I just recently took a trip (1667 miles total) in mine and since I was taking my car cover to cover it at night I removed the cover from the carrying bag and bunched it up as a barrier between the back of my seats and the trunk area. My car is a vert and this cut the exhaust noise significantly. Spreading out the bulk of the car cover across this area also gave me more room for luggage as the carry bag was quite large. Hope this tip helps you!

Have a safe trip and remember that Law Enforcement gets turned up several notches during major holidays like Memorial Day. No way to keep a low profile with your vette and your bullets so drive smart and safe. And watch out for the drivers with screaming/fighting kids in the back, talking on cell phones and eating that Big Mac and/or watching that DVD instead of paying attention to driving!!!!
