Road trips are great in these cars. I get off the interstate whenever possible and explore the countryside and remote locales. The gear capacity of these cars amazes people. I fly fish and golf traveling the USA and Canada sometimes three or four months at a time. Are you traveling solo?

Unfortunately not, and you're not the only one asking. Hopefully on a future road trip.

Thanks. The wheels are another story. I've been using Quick Detail every few days to keep the exterior nice, but the silver wheels are looking diamond finish or darker, it's not worth bothering to clean them as I'm putting on a few hundred miles+ a day.
Also, the hood and front have been taking a beating from rocks.

A 1700 mile road trip was how my wife and I broke in our new 2005 C2S Cab when it was only ~2 weeks old.

Great way to bond with (wo)man and machine...

BTW, love the blue!!
