That's a road trip? That's like a week of commuting. But ahhh, the Vermont roads. Grew up there. Good luck and have fun! Oh yea, take pics so we southerners with our flat land and straight roads can drool.

Yeah, well, gotta start somewhere. I only have 550 miles on the odo so I'm almost doubling.

Will do! I love Vermont too. It's one of my favorite places. Should be good weather tomorrow, near 50!

Natch

Actually, anything above 50 is topless motoring from my experience. 75-80 mph can get pretty nippy, especially for 3+ hours. We'll see how the temps are tomorrow. It's supposed to be nice.

Have fun and be safe!This warm winter weather is perfect for traveling. I'm going to Detroit next weekend for the NAIAS, 300+ each way(currently have 90 on odo). Your roads are so much better out there. I will also be going to the NY auto show via the Dragon in April so I'll get to enjoy some fun roads on that trip.

Will do. I89 to Burlington is a nice stretch. I want to run some back roads on the way back. The Dragon sounds like fun.
