Default A pic from our trip to Monterey

Well we got pulled over in Nevada or Utah doing about 100 in a 70, nothin really to fast. I drove the car for about 250 miles, lots of fun just cruising at 100. Thought it was a funny pic at the time.


Sorry I put this in the wrong forum, can somebody move it to general chat, Thanks

"lot of fun cruising at 100 mph" ?

LOL, in a car capable of much more than that it is quite boring to cruise at a fixed speed on the highway LOL but well, I'd like to cruise at 50 mph for 10 days in a Vanquish nonetheless

I think Nevada and Utah have scenic curvy roads but the main arteries / freewayd are pretty bland

Good work!

Well i didn't want to go crazy, it was the first time i drove it, my dad touched 155 a couple of times. That was pretty sweet.

Ha, i made sure he didn't see me

As for the types of roads, it was amazing. Barely anyone on the road and the scenery was beautiful at times. The roads would go up through mountains and back down, lots of cool tunnels. Once we were in Utah and Nevada the roads would stretch for long distances allowing you to really get up to speed.
