TheBoss & I made a fling-ourselves-to-Detroit-and-back,
last Fri noon through Sunday afternoon. We had to go up
to the ol'MotorCity for my Fave Aunt's funeral. She was
like a 2nd Mom to me, so I had to go...
NEway, we ripped off 1360 miles in the '02 VetteVert,
and spent 22 hours in the car, all total.
It still runs like a top and eats up the highway miles,
while giving us a overall average of 28.7 mpg, with
A/C or Defrost on 90% of the time, some serious
speeds and, some stop and go slogging around the
gloomy Motorcity.
On one stretch we got nearly 32 mpg.
It rained buckets, (ie 10" in Northern OH and MI), all
day Saturday, but the Vette never blinked, though
I did get a small leak in the driver side window where
it meets the Vert top.
Good to go for my closure and support my knucklehead
cousins and their fams...
We saw this gang of Model A Ford nuts at a motel where
we cooped on the way; the pics suck, as it was nearly
dark, pouring rain and shooting at f2 is not my usual style.
Helluva car; maybe the best I've ever owned as it does
so many things so well...the ad for Vettes is over,
.
