Another cross country trip in the Vette!

So 2 years ago I traveled from Maryland to Las Vegas. Now I have traveled back to the east coast from Las Vegas but this time I had a copilot with me. Both trips were fun and enjoyable and the car ran great both times.

This is him shifting gears ha!

Nice pictures! I have almost 50k miles on my Vette and we have winter here for about 4 months where you can't go far. Plus a few trips to the Philippines.

Great way to travel. Car looks awesome, that interior is sharp. Nice anti theft upgrade! Where to next?

Awesome!

Nothing better than a good cross-country trip, IMO. Especially, in a car like this!

Headed out in June on a National Parks Tour to Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and back to Florida. Third road trip in three years. Love seeing the country from the driver’s seat in the Corvette. Great view. Bride is copilot. Another month on the road in America’s sports car.

Nice. I won't let my beast in the car. She has fur in places I can't imagine fur getting in both of my trucks. Same fur as your sweetie, except orange. (Vizsla)
