Default 1572 miles this weekend - woohooo!

The wife and I left northeast Iowa, went to Oklahoma City, to Muskogee, and back. Beautiful driving conditions, no major problems with the Vette, great family visits, and got a LOT of winter blues out of the system. What a great weekend (3 days).

Saw 17 Vettes, not one C3 on the road. Mostly C5's. Not one returned wave, but I had to assume that they didn't see me (mostly interstate). Didn't matter to me though, I was havin' a blast. :party:

Sounds like a fun trip. That is quite an undertaking. Congrats on the marathon.

Oh you lucky guy!!!!!
And to think I was thrilled with a ride around the block. Must say though that all I have been thinking about is getting it out and taking off for the day but there is so much dirt and salt on the roads still.

Glad you had a great trip and a safe one. Happy trails!! :cheers:

That's 6288 quarter mile passes Quickvet. Just thought I would calculate it out for those who have a *lead foot*. :cheers:

It is good to hear there are still people taking them on long trips....

I would take mine that far, but the kids would be real grumpy.
