Just got back from Key West. Been going down multiple times a year because I love boating when my boat is in winter storage. Had another awesome time. Be careful and pay attention driving all the way down. My life flashed in front of me when a south bound truck crossed the centerline and was heading right at me. No where to go as we were on 7 mile bridge.

Drive speed limit most of the keys. Lots of sheriff all over. Same for Lauderdale to Homestead. I actually saw deer on Deer Key - first time in 20+ trips down. Speed limit is enforced!

Enjoy your trip!

Ok. Trip so far has been flawless. Key west was perfect weather a ton of pictures 7 mile bridge (Sunset Grill ) they have there own pool looking out over S bound 7milebridge. This beast has been great NO oil consumption in 2800 miles so far. No leaks squeaks or other gremlins. A perfect '13 ZL1 vert. Top has been perfect up or down speeds up to 120 no tonneau cover needed. My wheel combo I put on are Grrrreat. Rain sand speed heat FN nice. No police tons on the roads no one wanted to stop and talk to a retired cop Shoooot. I'll post a buncha pics when I get home. Any questions about a perfect car soooo far let me know. Thanks alll

What can I say No oil consumption : maybe 2 ounces...just because I wanted to put it in. 18 mpg not bad for a 6 speed auto driven in sport mode the whole time avg speed of 85 to 120 Stop and go thru traffic accidents in Tenn. and a zillion construction zones but that motor was right at 192 degrees in 90 plus degree temps. No leaks squeeeeeeks A/C was flawless... power steering was GREAT... Dam this is one nice car. The seats were comfortable given the first and second day was 850 miles and 720ish...I'm 6'2 235 and its nice. so for the trip just about 3500 miles
