I guess that means you need to go on another one before the month is over...

Tomorrow I'm headed to Nashville Mini....my door will not open from the inside ....would that be considered a "road trip?

Here's a few from our trek to TN. Just thought I'd share

Sounds like a simple fix for the dealer if the parts are in stock; hope it gets fixed painlessly.

Is it just me, or does the vee-dub beetle appear like it's about to rob a corner convenience store while wearing that mask? Looks like you all had a great road trip, thanks for sharing the photos!

MotorOn, you can take lunch time road trip too, ya know!

Question, when I go to upload photos I get the option for the April Gallery... is this the right album, just without an updated name?

Thx

Consider the gallery labeling issue fixed. If you already submitted, you're good. It's just a matter of the gallery labeling.

I'm always spraining my ankle, and tripping is second nature.

Is there a minimum distance from home to qualify as a real road trip?

Nothing about a minimum distance there..

FWIW, I just offered up the topic cuz I figured it coincided with MOTD month. And now I just revealed who's been coming up with the topic for the monthly photo contest. p.s. I take bribes.

Good greif Kurt, just drive around the block and we'd never know better. Just let Swifty get a little dirty okay. On second thought a trip to Jerome would be nice...
