Finally knocked it off my bucket list. For me, I've now traveled to all four corners of the ConUS. Already clocked over 8K. Week after next, I head for the bay area in CA to see the grandkids. The GT350 is truly designed for long distance touring. Jus liv'n the dream. :clap:

They were made for driving. I was at that exact location in March of last year. Key West was interesting and 7 mile bridge seemed shorter lol.

Thank you. I am. In the short time I've owned it, I've racked up 8K plus miles. :clap: Next week, I'm off again. This time, to the SF bay area and N CA. CA 36 is a drivers dream. Over 200+ curves. Runs E/W from US 101 to Susanville, CA.

Great bucket list....!
Is the Tail of the Dragon on the list, or has it already been checked off?

Done the dragon too many times. Ditto the "Snake." I'm only a days drive from Alcoa, TN. Over the years I've done just about every know ride/drive in the US. A number of years ago, I ordered a C6 Z06 from a dealer in NH just so I'd have the excuse to drive to Ft. Kent, Maine. That is the northern end of US 1. :clap: Unlike many, I enjoy driving. I keep a bag packed w/ 10 days clothing. The Corps taught me good. :)

Kudos to you, Sir, for using the car as intended. Travel safely to CA.

The climb out of death Valley going west will be interesting if the heat persists. I've always driven/ridden from west to east.

Ya California right now is going through a massive heat wave. Where I'm at in LA, we were seeing temps as high as 110+ this weekend. It's suppose to cool down a little this week but be safe!

@Rev Happy Leaving DFW area next Sunday. With luck, by the time I clear Pahrump, NV, the heat will be a fading memory.

Couldn't agree with you more on the long distance comfort and fun of driving this car many miles at a time. Bought it precisely for that purpose as well and not disappointed at all, especially love the Recaros.
