Road Trip, NC Mtns to FLA...

Made the annual seasonl migration from our Mtn Joint to the FL StarterShack. TheCEO drove her newish Hyundai Tucson, and I drove the VetteVert, this season.
The X is sleeping in the other garage...

Nothing unusual other than the heavy wildfire smoke in southern GA, and the load and "stuff" carrying ability of both cars. The Tuck holds nearly as much as our E53 X5. The FL Joint is in good shape, and it's good to be here for "the change", and off the winter-like Mtn.

The Tucson, loaded to the gunwales, managed ~27+ mpg over the nearly 800 mile trip, while the VetteVert did nearly 30 mpg, for the entire trip.


Some pics below, of the X about to be put to sleep, couple of the ride, the load the Tucson was able to swallow up, etc....thanks for looking.
