Well,

Probably it's first trip on the way home from Boston was it's longest. It went back there once, has been to N.J. several times as well as N.Y. I will take this car ANYWHERE! it's THAT fun, and I love driving it every chance I get!

My vette did from NJ to CA and six years later CA to NJ, in a closed coach. Trucker made the trip in 4 days, no problem. I'm guessing... a few mini thins/ coffee stacks, even less showers, no scratches and 0 miles on the vette. $3k each way, now that sucked.
