AMEN! Well put, carbiz! Heh ... this is yet another reason why I love to travel and road trip. You see so many great things along the way. Course, meeting people is a good thing, too . he he This is a link to some gorgeous scenic areas a friend sent to me: http://mybeautifulamerica.com/nationalparks.htm Cort:34swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve&pacemaker WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "I'm still alive inside" ...

*grins* Awesome ... thank ya . And, gm4life ... I always thought that red/cranberry was easier to keep clean. Though ... maybe it shows the scratches more? Well, at least more than a white car. My black '76 MC Landau ... REALLY shows the scratches .

*grins* I can attest to the fact that it IS nice to have a classic RWD as a DD . he he BTW ... those figures just can't be correct. Observe: 2008 malibu 6 cylinder 3.6 liter R (S6) Auto 17 26 1983 Malibu 8 cylinder 5.0 liter 6 (A3) Auto 18 27 You're going to tell me that a 25 year old V8 Malibu gets BETTER gas mileage than a BRAND NEW "malibu" with a V6???? *pauses* Course, that could be true ... I'm getting better daily driving gas mileage in my V8 1987 MC LS than the brochure claims the new G8 gets.... *shrugs* Cort:34swm."Mr Monte Carlo.Mr Road Trip".pig valve&pacemaker WRMNshowcase.legos.HO.models.MCs.RTs.CHD = http://www.chevyasylum.com/cort "You really think you're in control?" ...

In the "Who Will Be Where This Year?" thread where I mentioned where I'll be in 2008 and early 2009, I also asked 2 questions: "Where is your favorite area?" and "Where do you want to go in your lifetime?". I thought these might be better suited for a different topic; thus, this thread. But, a twist, on both questions: 1 ... Where is your favorite area in your HOME country (for most of us, the US)? 2 ... Where do you want to go in your HOME country (for most of us, the US) in your lifetime? For me ... the answers are easy: 1 ... Nashville/Jackson TN 2 ... Everywhere I haven't been already on one of my road trips, to see the sights and, of course, meet more people. This includes California, Boston/the NorthEast, Minnesota, Alaska and a few other places. Course, I'd also like to re-visit many of the places to which I've already traveled...and I'll be doing some of that this year, driving to Pennsylvania in June and then again in August (including stops in Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Maryland, northern Virginia)...and then the St Louis area in early October. So ... what about you? How do you answer these 2 questions?
