Wow!
Nice trip
Lets say 3000-3500 miles in 11 days makes 318 a day.
Thats doable & still nice!


Bring some engine oil with you and check level in the morning.
IMO thats the only thing the car needs if in good shape.


Have FUN!

If you can work it in I recommend Rt. 50 from Bridgeport/Clarksburg WV to Parkersburg, WV.
Great road/mountain scenery. Some great straights from peak to peak in the mountains where you can wind it out.

Defintely drive through...Colorado and Utah. Great scenery. From Utah you could head south to Vegas or head west and hit San Fran. If gambling and strip clubs are your thing..DO VEGAS!

Word of advice..if you stop in Colorado and are at an elevation of...say 11,000 ft ...DO NOT run up any flight of stairs. In fact don't run anywhere, just walk slowly.

In Arizona take US 191 south until you get to the big mine....then turn around and go back north ... repeat as many times as possible.

Thats where I was born and raised. If ya go rt 50 though, watch out for the WV cops, they are nasty and dont believe in warnings.

well, I went to Greenwood, MS with my gf this morning. My first long(er) distance trip with my S and am truly proud of it's great performance.

Greenwood is about 133miles away and I got back in 1hour and 15minutes

It rained most of the trip down there, so I had to be a bit careful and slower because of my low tread on the rears. (the car had low tread when I bought it)

but on the way back, everything was dried up

**I love my Passport X50**

A little out of the way...but worth the detour:
