5000 Miles, 2 Days, New C5 is Home!
2500 mile flight from Arizona to Pennsylvania with a layover in Michigan followed by 2500 miles on the road trip back. It was just awesome. We had a great time.
Right after purchase: Hitting the road in PA. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/1.jpg Stopped in Cleveland to pick up my son and grabbed this pic of the arch in St. Louis. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/3.jpg Oklahoma was a chipper 30 degrees at 7am. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/5.jpg 67 degrees about 30 miles East of Amarillo. Finally time to drop that top. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/6.jpg Smiles all the way around enjoying the warm Texas weather. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/7.jpg New Mexico! Getting Close now. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/8.jpg Typical Southwest scenery in New Mexico. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/9.jpg Time to knock 2500 miles of grime off the car and start working on 11 years of cotton towel swirls on clear coat. Broke out the Meguiars 83 and NXT Wax with the Porter Cable random orbital. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/10.jpg NXT helps hide some of the past, but I’ll be working sections of the car over time until they are taken care of. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/11.jpg She’ll be getting more of the business end of my PC. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/12.jpg The rear deck was particularly bad. After one run I’m pleased, but it’s going to need more work. http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/13.jpg http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/14.jpg http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/15.jpg http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/16.jpg It was getting late and we’re heading out to dinner so I had to wrap it up http://66.197.42.222/webpics/c5d1/17.jpg |

I wish I had your knack for paint polishing! :thumbs: I picked up this '01 this month - same great color scheme, but A4 Auto with just under 36k miles. :cheers: http://i1202.photobucket.com/albums/...ps5387c640.jpg |

Congrats! I had only a 1200 mile round trip. Yours looked way more fun. Love the car.

I did the same thing when I bought mine (only 2200 miles though). Great way to learn the car and have fun at the same time. That road trip was a lot of fun. Congrats on the new wheels!
