I just checked to see what the milage to Skyline and back was. 1616 miles! That was some driving. And I enjoyed every bit of it. The ride home was 606 miles. Almost 100 less than the ride there.

That's what I drive in about 2 months!

Forgot to check mine. I left the north end of Skyline at 3:00 p.m. and pulled into my drive about midnight with minimal stopping along the way.

Glad you're home safe and sound. That Z06 is a sweet ride - never drove it though!

Now you'll have to bring it down here to show me and Rock how it goes!

I mentioned a trip there to Grace! She seemed interseted.

Of course you are welcome here. I have plenty of paint brushes.

Sorry you didn't take it for a ride. It was hectic. I really wanted you to take it for a ride.

606 miles That's a Sunday afternoon ride. Bowling Green was just under 1,400 each way for us ... and we had to do it in a lowly SS

So, driving to NH wouldn't be too much of a problem!!

1833 miles according to MapQuest ... if you plan to be in Bowling Green for the F-body celebration next year maybe we'll head up your way before or after

So, what kinda gas mileage didya get?

Averaged 27 to 28 on the highway. Much of the time on Skyline is was 2.7 to 10!! . It was 2.7 at WOT in 2nd gear. Hit the rev limiter once passing Her Hawk. I am still grinning.

I do have one confession to make. There was one really wide open stretch on 81. I hit 140 for a short stretch until I caught traffic. Closing speed was scary. Won't do that very often!! John was giving me grief about driving with a skirt on most of the time. Usually 70 to 75.

Coming back across the desert on a Monday...less traffic...from Las Vegas...had a little run with a friendly Viper. I say friendly because he didn't just disappear on me.
Hit 136 on the flat! Felt pretty good and fully in control! I just can't say enough about those G-Force KD's!
