I forgot how nice it was......
..to just drive. This past weekend I want on a road trip to Southern VT with the GS. No particular destination in mind, just to explore the great roads in the area. After over 1,200 mi on all kinds of roads in sun/rain the car needs a good cleaning but performed like a champ.
The top of Okemo Mountian.
End of the road.
The C6 can even handle dirt roads.
Back home and ready for a good cleaning.

always glad to see people get and not just drive these beasts, but really get out and drive 'em.
I think nothing of a Saturday or sunday drive of 200 - 400+ miles. with no reason then to just get out.
my go to burger place, is a 70 mile drive. my personal best is 1,100 miles in one day ( as part of 9 day 6k mile kamikaze run )!
I also don't mind getting it dirty, kind like a badge of honor.
looks like a nice drive on your side of the country too.

I have been so busy lately I have not had time to post much.
VT is great, but it was chilly (low 40s at night) already up there.

I would do tacos tonight (beautiful day here) but I just got home from hernia surgery, not supposed to drive or drink.
Pain hasn't really started yet, still under anesthesia.
Did you take the wife with you?

I did the PCH years ago, but the traffic spoiled most of the fun. On this trip I looked at the map and any road that was "squiggly" made the cut.

No wife on this trip, she would not have liked my driving.
I went with two of my brothers and my cousin.

no map or GPS, and usually no idea of where I'm going ( kind of like my life in general I guess ). occasionally i'll hit a boring route, but it's still an adventure.

Glad y'all had fun. I enjoy getting "lost" on back roads.

Both my brothers had an ST, but one was totaled in an accident. Everybody was OK and he got good money from the insurance company, so it was not all that bad. I am trying to convince him to buy a RS, but he does not have a secure place to park it.
I really like both cars, the ST has enough power to be fun, and the handling is very predictable. The GTI could use a little more HP and the car feels tail happy to me, but the fit/finish and attention to detail are great.
