Exclamation Road Trip!

Going to be in Breckenridge, CO by Sunday (with my F-body). Leaving early tomorrow morning so I can get to St. George by around lunch time. Any cool things I should see/do along the way or on the way back? Probably taking the 15 to the 70 but detours are ok if the roads are ok.

Let me know how that drive is in the Fbod. I did it two yrs ago in a gutless Montero, during the Summer. I kept thinking, damn I wish I was in the Camaro instead.

Ready to sleep through the storm! I hope. Had a roll of Reflectix insulation laying around so I cut it into pieces to cover the windows and doors. They're rolled away and stored in the trunk for when I need them. =)



P.S. TUK ER JERRRRBS

Yea you better beat this cloud system before it hits those mountains. My best advice is to just drive straight through and try to avoid those podunk stops with only a gas station. I had to stop at some weird ones my last time through.

Pleasure but hopefully I can get some business too.

Shouldn't be too bad. The worst part is that I'm alone for the drive. And maybe the nut on top of the shock absorber being not tightened all the way due to damaged threads, but we'll see what happens.

I may have time to work on your sig, so send me the pics anyways.
I won't pick up hitchhikers, but if I see a group of chicks pulled over with the hazards on and somethings wrong with their car, I'm stopping.

I've stopped at some weird places before. They don't scare me. Plus - I have a baseball bat in the trunk and a 6D MagLite in the cabin. Hopefully the roads are clear...

That's pretty cool. I've made the trip up to Spokane, WA and back several times. Once with only one CD.
I've tried to sleep in my car a couple of times, I can only manage to get a couple of hours in, I just can't sleep in the car, even with the seat all the way down.

One thing you'll definitely need for the trip is...


















































a LS1!!! You know those v-6's can hardly keep up with traffic. JK.

Dude lee I would be down to go I have a few friends back there that I haven't seen in about 5 years. Ohh well my colorado trip will have to wait, but I won't drive my car. Too afraid of getting miles on her and something happening.

Ohh and that custom sleeping arrangement you made Lee, thats damn sweet dude. Wow.

Do you have chains? I'm not sure if I still have my chains for my Camaro.

I did the drive from LA to Colorado springs in 16 hours, only stopping for gas/****, but once again in the Montero and in the Summer. You should be ok.

So why are you going to Breck? Boarding/Skiing?

Don't forget to check the weather before heading up.
