First cruise
Took her for a nice long cruise from Sarasota Fl to Franklin NC. Left on 7/26 and returned home on 8/5. Drove about 1500 miles total. We only owned her for about a week before leaving so this was a good time really check everything out. It was a flawless trip and the Vette ran great! I was a little concerned by all the post saying that certian 2001 models had oil consumption problems and was relieved that she didn't use a drop. Driving the mountian roads was a great change from the flat straight roads here in Florida. We also had a lot of top down driving time.
