Gotta Chance To Drive My C3 On A One Day 400 Mile Round Trip
It will be next weekend. I don't have to use the C3, but think it might be fun. It really runs great around 80-85mph. I can use my other car, but C5s are so refined.
The longest trip I have made is the day I bought it. It was 360 miles home on a flat and tired engine. All of that has changed. So, what would you do?

Drive it! Enjoy it.
I haven't put this many miles on mine in a single day since I bought it: purchase in Atlanta, GA drove to San Diego, Ca in 2.5 days - oh my what a wonderful trip! It's a '73 convertible, and we drove with the top down 99% of the time, only problem was a tire going bad in Tyler, TX.
Drive it. Enjoy it.

Sorry, forget to "second the motion" - bring some gas money! On my baby's trip home we filled up 3-4 times/day!
I think we peaked at about 117 mph thru the desert; cops didn't find us, but caught the '69 cougar we'd been "taggin" all day long.
