Road Trip

Wish me luck as my wife and I make the 1100 mile trip from Tucson to Houston. My baby got a clean bill of inspection. Hope she perfoms well and makes it safely to her new home.

Here's hoping you find good gas prices and 34 mpg! Miles and miles of smiles!

You'll have fun. Remember to stop and smell the roses, take in sights you've never seen before, look at the map and get off the Interstate for some stretches.

Take in Fort Concho in San Angelo and eat the best German food in the US in Fredricksburg.

Be safe, have fun!

Let us know how it turns out.

Sounds like fun. What could be better than a drive in a Vette? A long drive in a Vette.

The wife and I just put on 2500 miles on our 98 C5 last month. Did the same last year but put on over 3000 miles that trip. No problems, good gas mileage, and comfortable as all get out. Nothing like crusing on the interstate for miles on end.
