We had a great time visiting with all the folks. I managed to finally get a trophy by going farther than anyone else to get to the show. Ollie also got a long distance trophy. I wound up going 2456 miles and averaged mid 13's mpg. The car is a pleasure to drive on the road and is instantly responsive to the throttle. I drove the final lap home from Camden, Tenn to Omaha in just shy of 14 hours and just shy of 750miles. My car seat is pretty butt sprung so I have put a carpet tile on the seat with a mesh type seat cover over it. I was amazed that it was very comfortable and I never had any saddle sores from the marathon journey. I couldn't drive my 2010 Town and Country van more than an hour before i'd get sore. Hopefully there will be some more trips in the future but with a little more laid back attitude. We went thru 11 states on the journey. I was waving. Did you see me :-)
It was nice to actually meet our fearless leader, Gary Hamel and his wife. We toured the museum and checked out all the superb vehicles. I really liked the Studebaker truck which won the 3 wheeler trophy ?????? Must've had a flat tire :-)
I was going to download my pics but my computer is frozen up. I'm using my tablet in the meantime. I'll break out my 10pound sldge hammer and fix it!
Keep having fun!
