Default 387 mile day trip

Today was my first day off that i could truly devote to cruising with my S. I have wanted to see the North East Kingdom of Vermont since I moved here 7 years ago but never got the chance so today was the day. I started out at 10:00 this morning checked the oil (still haven't had to add any) and took off. I drove all day only stopping a couple of times for gas and or restroom breaks, and a snack. I got back at about 5:45. All told 387 miles. About 70% of the trip was on twisty two lanes with the other 30% being a 4 lane highway. Unbelivable scenery and a fun, comfortable ride provided by the S. After being in it for over 7 hours straight I have no back pain or fatigue at all. Needless to say I am very pleased with my S. Hope you all enjoyed some top down motoring today also.

Road trips are sooo much fun in this car. I have been racking so many miles on mine, im begining to worry about putting too many miles on it. But I think parking it for the winter will balance them out.

We will be putting them away before you know it so we have to enjoy them while we can. Like you said Jimbo storing them for the winter will balance the mileage out.

You people up north are so lucky to be able to put your cars away to save miles. Us in the south have to drive them year round with the top down and rack up the mileage!

All kidding aside, I'd love to find a way to not put so many miles on my car. Maybe we'll get snow this year in Tampa?
