Hop in the S and take a road trip up to Seattle and back. Stop by the Grand Canyon, Glacier, Vegas, maybe get out to the west coast and Napa, the coastal highway, etc.

 

If your single, Vegas 2-3 days then spend a couple of days detailing the car and tie up some loose ends around the house. Do you have to take it all at once? I couldn't take that much vacation at once....without going to an actual destination

 

I'm not that interesting.

 

Hmm... I'm getting a lot of suggestions for road trips. My biggest concern would be the weather this time of year... especially if I'm in the S. Plus, if I take the S on a road trip, that means I have to get a new set of tires, since mine are almost shot.

I've already been to most of the places in Elistan's route, but I wouldn't mind heading up to the Pacific NW. I've never been there. Whatever happened to fperra? Maybe I could crash at his place. Maybe hit Yellowstone or something, too. Anybody from that part of the world know what weather is generally like in November or early December?

Mr.E, I don't have to take it all at once, and honestly, unless I do take a road trip, I probably won't. But, I don't really want to set aside vacation time to do house projects. I've done that in the past, and it never worked out... I just ended up sitting on my ass, and never actually getting around to the projects.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys... keep 'em coming!

 

East of the Rockies you have to worry about snow, but head up to Santa Fe and then do the whole West Coast and back, including Vegas.

 

OK... while we're on the topic of road trips... for those of you that have done extended ones... how many miles per day, or how many hours of driving, is sustainable for an extended (2-week) road trip. I was looking at the mileage from DFW to Seattle, and it just doesn't look do-able in 2 weeks, especially if I make any stops along the way (Vegas, LA, PCH scenic route).

I know that when I used to road-trip with my parents, we would do as much as 8 hours driving per day (8am-6pm, stopping for lunch, fuel & bathroom breaks only), and it was miserable.

 

I haven't read this whole thread and someone else might have mentioned it but I flew in to san diego with some friends and we drove up through LA and Hollywood and then went up the PCH to San Fran then over to the Sequoias then to Tahoe then to Yosemite then caught the flight back out of san diego. Awesome trip.

 

^ Sounds like a good trip. So, I take it you guys rented a car, or was one of your friends local to SD? If you rented, did you just get a normal car, or something more fun to take full advantage of the PCH?

 

Rent from Hertz and get either their Mustang convertible (the sport one, i forget the designation) or the corvette convertible.

It's a great idea that ole Tapout had. If you do it, stop by (I live just off the 1/101) and we'll go for a spin in the Lambo.

Or you could do this:

That might be reason enough!

As for the WorldClassDriving event... that seems cool, but pretty spendy for a one-day event... especially one that takes place on public roads. Plus, they're not in Dallas till May of next year.
