Amazing road trip car: holds 2 sets of clubs, soft luggage for 2, and rolls down the road like an F16...noisey, and warm inside, but a fun azz car. BR, mD |
I am pretty sure you made a similar thread for last years trip south (or your spring/summer migration north), but the Vette's mpg surprises me every time. By the way, I have to give you credit with regards to how nice all of yor cars look. You do a great job of keeping the Vette and X5 looking like new. If you ever decide to sell either, I am sure they will get snapped up quickly.
