Sick 66 trip updates.

[abodyjoe]

I'll try to post updates here when i can. video is tough because it has to go to youtube then posted here. maybe I'll do that after the trip. who knows.
Day 1.

we left jersey at about 7pm. arrived in wheeling west va at about 2am monday morning for some shut eye.

car ran nice. its sweet spot is 65-70 mph. think its definitely getting something like a 2.76 gear over the winter.

we hit heavy rain for 2+ hours through Pa. so much for the nice clean car i left with..lol.

pretty non-eventful. gonna eat and hit the road again in a bit. we have about 8 or so hours to St. Louis. hopefully traffic isn't too bad.

I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little jealous. Bucket list trip is Route 66 in my Duster and the idea of doing it from track to track is just too cool. Enjoy!

I've always wanted to do it. this came up and they plan it for you so we decided to do it. them planning it helps a ton. being we aren't racing we can cut out early and see stuff not on their list.

Very nice, Joe! I know yall will have a great time.

 

[abodyjoe]

gotta say. i really do not like the passenger seat. it is her car though.

 

[abodyjoe]

I road tripped out that way to buy a Duster a few years ago.
2,000 miles in 2 days, pulling a car trailer, it was a long trip.
