Default Picked up my sons C5

Chicago to NJ, then back to Chicago 1900 miles in a weekend. What you do for your kids!

Pic going through tunnel at 5:15 AM Saturday



Picking up car Saturday and heading back at 12:00PM



A few pics while driving home







My car ran flawlessly and I really like his car but I love my 81. Now I have to detail it because it is filthy from the trip with the rain that we hit.

You're a great Dad!! Good to hear you had a flawless round trip and I bet your son had a huge smile on his face.

And I know you'll love detailing BOTH cars!!!

Well done dad! Was that the longest trip you've taken with the 81?

One of them, the other was long hauling on Hot Rod Power Tour in June. That was 3,000 miles round trip. Detroit to Texas.

I am going to due power tour in 2013. It is a blast! My son will due a few days also.

Thanks
