I too have it bad. I confess that I have gone seriously out of the way for a 'short trip'...I think the record is 2 1/2 hours to get a box of macaronni and a tub of butter from from a store 3.5 miles away.

I too take frequent drives with no destination in mind. Matter of fact I used to be big in ordering things online, since I've have the Vette (a year now) I actually go shopping

For the drive of course...

I can tell you that I am not a vett-aholic, Thank You
and I do not have seperation anxiety either now that my vette is at the body shop.

So why won't my wife let me put the car cover on the bed?

Had this red '02 for 6 years when, all of a sudden, I woke up to find this second black one sitting in the driveway the other day.

"Honest, Honey! It must have followed me home last night!"
