So if you were planning a trip in a week or so, to go 3/4's the way across the country for pleasure purposes, would you:
A) Drive your Vette for the round trip 3600 mile adventure.
B) Fly SWA and save the miles, wear & tear on the Vette, and get an extra fews days to lounge at home afterwards?

Putting those miles on the car will not be a major deduction on the car's value. Heck, it was made to be driven. The thing I would worry about is what the weather would be like along the route. With this being winter, no telling what you might run into. As much as it would be fun to drive the Vette, I think I would just fly. Now if it were summer, it would be a different story.

Taking Hwy 50 through Nevada and part of Utah. Not much out there. Cruised at 120-125 in my Nissan Altima last year. Then I chickened out and slowed to 90. Even took it down to 55 once...damn THAT was SLOW!!! Wonder what kind of speeds I'd get to in the vette?
