How Far Is Your Trip?

[Blueskybob]

Here's an idea...pick up your Elio, cruise to my place, pick me up, drive me back to the factory and then I will reimburse you for the trip...that's about $38 in gas...plus tolls. (Oh heck, I'll even buy you a doughnut for the trip, but no big gulps...we aren't stopping!!)

If you down south it would be a Beignet instead of a donut!
And you could use a "pilots helper" along with a big Gulp

971 miles
15 hrs. and 35 mins (driving), but I may fly and make a vacation out of it since my best friend lives in Shreveport then drive the ole girl (NEW Elio) home!

Have 11 states that I haven't been through in my lifetime . On my trip back from Shreveport I will stop in Oklahoma and Arkansas and remove two from my list.

If I'm coming down to pick it up at the factory, I'd like to have a buddy come along for the ride but I can't imagine asking some friend to crunch into the backseat for a thousand mile drive back home hehe

I think I read in the council minutes that was suggested.

You read the council minutes? I'm impressed. Where did you find them?

That's just over a 1000 miles but I get to stop in Memphis for some great Barbecue. Memphis in May is a must for any barbecue aficionado. Maybe a quick trip west into Texas for some brisket. Starting to formulate a plan.

Oh my, there is absolutely nothing better than Texas brisket!

I have been in all 48 contiguous states in my lifetime so I don't need to meet any criteria there. When I tried to find out the mileage from my little town (pop.7000), which is right on I-5 I couldn't get the option unless I go through Portland. Why would I go 3 hours north to head south? I am scratching my head on that one. Anyway, I am estimating 3,000 miles and that does not include a side trip to Toledo, OH to show my car to my older son, or a stop (definitely not on the way) near Seattle to do the same with my other son and my sister. Whew! I don't know if I can stand to be away from swimming that long. All my muscles and joints will tie themselves into knots! :-)

If you cross north texas on 82 there is a BBQ joint at Lindsay texas that is wonderful.
