Default Road Trip Ready

Spent the day getting her ready for 3000 mile 3 week road trip on Sunday. Washed, waxed, tire dressing and 50/50 top, looks new and did interior. Looks too good to be driven. LOL but that’s what she is made for. Not a garage Queen, right !!!!.

Beautiful car and as clean as it is, should be good for 1-2 mpg increase (less drag on the car).


Best of luck on your trip and be safe.

Hello from across the river in Port Charlotte. Your trip (Charlotte County to NC to the Milwaukee area and back) is similar to my October 2015 in my 2000 silver supercharged Corvette C5, only I did the trip in the reverse order. On the first leg, I went with 4 other Corvettes (members of the Corvettes of Charlotte County club) to the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky. Then I went solo and visited Evansville, IN, then on to the Milwaukee suburbs of New Berlin (borders Brookfield) and Mequon. After visits to central WI and eastern WI, I visited Hickory, NC, then drove back to Port Charlotte. In total, I drove 4400 miles. An absolutely wonderful trip, especially because the autumn colors were at their peak.
