First road trip

I've had my 2SS since July 2nd and I'm loving it! Until this past week had not really taken it much further than an hour out. Had to leave Vegas for California this past week on business and normally I'd not take my car, but thought what the heck!

Bottom line is I couldn't have been happier I did. Averaged about 25mpg , was totally comfortable and man... Some of our hills between Vegas and L.A. Can be challenging for some cars, not these! I've driven my 2006 Vette plenty of times in the same roads and my Camaro wins hands down in comfort and ease of use.

I like the valet mode as well. Paid the valet folks well to put her in a good well lit, safe spot. Actually turned out well as I could see it from my hotel balcony.

Pro tip- do NOT forget your car is in valet mode !! They brought my car up as I was checking out, had my bags and all. Went to pop the trunk to place my bags in and nothing. Press button again, nothing. Try door button. Nothing. Try hidden button. Nothing. Lowere back seat reach in and pop manually. Win! Look like a moron? Yes sir!

Get in car after ordeal to leave and remember valet mode is on?? Priceless

Thought I'd share what many of you already knew though. These cars are amazing for road trips!!
