I'm missing the long drives and wish I had a good excuse to go again.
Having made some pretty long trips in the Dart it was more fun than I have had in awhile and I am missing it.
We made a big loop awhile back from here in AZ over to the west ocean using sections of Route 66 and hit the Rt 66 James Dean Memorial in CA, then down the coastline hitting all the major beach cruises including Santa Barbara where we took the little side roads along the cliffs and then down to the LA area where we picked up I10 for the drive back to AZ.
Even the semi crowded freeway around the LA area was a blast with the windows down playing old school rock and roll in slow moving stop and go traffic and not in one bit of a hurry.

The entire loop took about 27 hrs driving time with one overnight by the ocean in a town I spent part of my youth in, and it was more fun than I had in a car since the kids were born. (almost 30 years)
The car and weather were both flawless the entire way and I want to do it again.:D

I wanted to Tim, but I had the Wife with me and we would have wasted the day BS ing.:D
Looking forward to doing that again some day though.
I promise next time to at least tell you to FO.:D

Kidding man, I had a good time last time I saw you and will definitely see you again.
Maybe your car will be ready next time and we can go raise a little hell in Pismo.

 
We did 1500 miles in the rusty duster from central ca to Tucson and back last month. It was a lot of fun. Heading back out next weekend but I think we are going to trailer it this time to be safe.

I wanted to go down to Tucson when the Road Kill zip tie drags were on, but I was sick that weekend.
Mostly this time of the year I go down to Phoenix for the 2 big Saturday car shows at The Pavilions and 67th and Bell Rd where they have the all Mopar shows twice a year as well.
45 degrees at my house and 65 in Phoenix is a no brainer, especially with a bunch of hotrods to check out.

My excuse is a simply stated set of words.

“Just because!”

And we’re done here....
Enjoy your ride. Take pictures and please post them up later.
 

Whaaa...?...:)
What do you mean what?

I here by take this ride in my car for the reason of, “Just because!”

Because I can
Because I need to
Because I haven’t done so in a while
Because the car needs exercise
Because the sky is blue and the earth is round
Because I like my car

Go for it! Only have regrets for things you've done, not for things that you haven't done.

Do I have to pick one or can I just use them all as listed?:D
