*Where Have You Taken Your Car?* I'm asking this in the appearance section b/c it's about the only area on the entire internet that gets joy out of actually driving their cars to some place besides a race track.
So... where all have you taken it?
In the 147k miles, the T/A has covered these areas:
I'm sure I left out a few roads here & there... but thats the jist of it.
Charlotte, NC to Missouri, to Key West, Florida, to Houston, TX.
Theres a track day in a few weeks and if nothing breaks or happens, it'll make the trip the following week to Dallas, TX as well.
So, lets see how far you've taken your sled.
Heres a HUGE map incase anyone wants to draw it out like I did.

Pretty cool thread...I'm really bored too. Got my T/A in Bakersfield, CA then stationed in San Diego, went back home on leave to Kansas City for a few weeks during a transfer to Charleston, SC. Lived there a year then up to Norfolk, VA which is where I just sold her. The new owner drove her up to Michigan which I didn't include since it wasn't mine at that point.

I drove from Detroit to San Diego without stopping (except to eat and bathroom usage).....but that was in my buddies explorer 
. No way would I want to put those miles on the camaro even though when we got to the mountains right inside California, I was craving to have my car so that I could do some "spirited driving" in the mountains and through the curves, that would have been a blast!
Those of you driving across country in your cars are nuts because I would go def listening to the loud rumble for soo long...at least in my car I would..

Honestly, the sound isnt that bad, its just the idea that something could happen to it when you're that far from home. Also this year: I'm planning on taking it up to Indianpolis in Sept for the fbody show. Annnd I'm considering getting in on some part of the Hot Rod Power Tour.
