Anyone out there do this?
I was wondering if anyone out there besides me might just jump in their Vette and go for a ride to nowhere? Like drive so far and turn around and go back. I do this once in a while just because I love being behind the wheel. Just was wondering if other fellow forum members do this

Yep. I have a couple of little routes that I take just to stretch her legs. I sometimes go to a dairy queen about 15 miles away, have an ice cream and come back. The road there and back is awesome!

If I had one, I most definitely would take a weekly cruise to the middle of no where...No wife, no kids, no stupid dog barking at the rabbits and squirrels...Just me and my Vette! (or 03 Cobra if I dont find the Vette I want.)

I just came back from such a ride. Just a chance to get out of the office for a bit in the nice weather.

You bet I do this. Don't need a destination or reason to get behind the wheel.

I did just that in May. One day I just decided to go see my kids in Kansas City so packed up my vette and hit the road. 3 weeks & 4,500 miles later I was back home in SoCal

Peace isn't always quiet.
