Default Driving alone.

Took a drive today in my LMB C6. Had sodas bought, munchies, beautiful mountains to drive in, However, I could not find a single person who wanted to go along (all too busy).

(and yes, I shower! )

I enjoy long aimless drives in my Vettes.
I don't need anyone else.

I drive alone to work weekdays. Much prefer a co-pilot on week-end trips.

No food allowed in my cars/trucks. I will occasionally drive with a drink. I actually put more miles each year on my motorcycles than my vehicles and have gotten used to not having food and drink with me.

My "daily driver" truck made it thru the month of April with less than a tank of gas burned. It's at a quarter tank and I filled it up on the last day of March. Oops got off subject.

LOL to all the posts! Thanks for the smiles.

BTW, I did get a thumbs up from a guy in a Mitsubishi 3000GT!

However, the only other Vette I saw in the entire 12 hour drive (including two interstates) was a white one that blew past me like I was standing still. I was doing about 80 at the time

I drive alone in my Vette all the time. I like to listen to the engine and the music. I drove all the way across country by myself. I just like to drive my Vette. The open road and a Vette. You don't feel alone at all. Once in awhile my wife comes along but only if there's the lure of dinner at the end of the ride. Just cruisin' is fun!!!!!!!!

Hows my breath?... it's ok, but do you think the tin foil suit and propeller beanie cap is a detraction or an asset when asking folks if they want to go for a ride?
