That’s a good haul man! How was camaro fest? Yeah I can get 22 mpg even with all my aero mods. OH I’ll be going to Cedar Point on my trip to I think.

So make sure you have two or three or cash.

Huh? I'm sure I have used the same card at two gas stations in a day many times, or even twice at the same station when gassing up two cars for the week.

In the Camaro, upstate NY to VIR and back with some detours. 1300 miles and change (not counting 2 days of track driving

)

Longest road trip ever for me was here to Dallas and back in a Honda Prelude. That was ... long.

You are correct, my bad.

That was in 2011. We got burned on our NY trip when the attendant in NJ hung up the pump when it kicked off at 1/2 a tank. I had to pay cash when we stopped again at noon.

Now I have to enter my Zip code, so that's probably why it changed.

I thought about running the car down a strip when I get up north and it’s a little cooler.

Damn to Dallas that’s a long trip!!

Oh yeah another question should I be worried about having off-road pipes and no cats?

So I just did my Vegas road trip last week. About 700 miles round trip. About an hour and a half into the trip coming in to Victorville I got caught by a CHP doing 94. I was hoping I braked hard enough when I noticed him but to no avail. He was a really cool guy and my wife started joking with him that our Vegas trip just got a little more expensive. He had my roll up the passenger window and saw my tint on there as well. He went back to his car for a few minutes and handed me my ticket, a fix it ticket for the tint only! Said I had a really nice car and to have a good trip and he was letting me go for the 94. Told him my first drink out there was in his honor. Second time I've been hit going around 90 since I've had the car and didn't get a speeding ticket. I admit it though I was pretty gun shy the rest of the way. I generally kept it around 80. Hit 125 on the way back when a Mustang tried to get cute with me in the middle of the desert. Overall the weekend was great. Had a really nice room at the Cosmopolitan on the 57th floor overlooking the Bellagio fountains and came back with more money than when I left for once. Here's a picture I took from our balcony.

The farthest I’ve driven my camaro ss would be probably be San Diego, CA. It’s not good on gas and I have a 2013 Toyota Tacoma single cab truck I use to go on longer trips. I do hope to take my camaro on a trip to Vegas soon.

I've been back and forth to Tulsa (from OKC) more times than I care to count. I've been to Dallas (~250) 10 or so times but a couple of years ago, I drove it from OKC to Denver (about 650 miles). It's a 2014 with 55k miles on it and every single one of them have put a huge smile on my face.

A lot of officers are super cool. I just left my local cars and coffee and one officer brought his cammed late model GTO and another brought the cruiser but he has a Z06. You just have to be respectful.

Dope view from the hotel, you won enough to pay for the trip? That’s legit bro.
