I hear a few here not thrilled about road trips in certain cars. Why do you own them then? Some of the best and most enjoyable road trips I have had have been in cars 99% of people would say no way. It's not all about the comfort it's about the experience. I've had several epic road trips with the ultimate being from Long Beach, CA to Yellowstone, Glacier, and then all the way to Neenah, WI and back in a '64 Lotus Elan! Imagine 40 degrees, snow falling, top down, and a heater the sorta worked. No AC, no cruise, but oh what glorious memories that can't be forgotten. Other trips over 1000 miles, were in a '72 Pinto, a '91 Lotus, and a couple years ago in an '03 SLK32 AMG. I thought the SLK was too user friendly, but nothing beats a German Hot Rod on a long stretch of remote 2 lane roads. That trip took me from Tahoe to Colorado, then to Vegas, and back to Tahoe. I Love road trips.
