Boy...this is EXACTLY why I am building my car in the first place, and why I am
renewing as many components as I can afford. I want to do road trips. I am
envious,
and can only hope that by this summer I'll be able to at least make a short
one! Good
luck, and if you swing through East Tennessee (plenty of curvy mountain roads
nearby)
feel free to stop and say hello!
