Your favorite road trip car ?
Gonna take this is a little different direction. My favorite road trip vehicle is my 1956 Austin Healey 100. Sure, it lacks pretty much every creature comfort- manual everything, no AC, no roll up windows, no roof, no cupholders! Not much trunk space either, so, one suitcase and it had better be small. Prepped for vintage racing, so, lower ride height and stiffer springs all around, it lets you know about every inch of pavement it covers.
But drive 1,000 miles, run some AutoX laps, and drive 1,000 miles home? Sure thing. Drive from northern California to SoCal and rip up and down all the canyon roads? Yup. Drive in the rain? Sure, just keep it over 60 so the rain goes over the windscreen instead of into the cabin.
Somewhere out on I5 near Mt. Shasta

Lake Tahoe, another ski resort parking lot AutoX
