Finally made it back home!

Finally made it back home from the cross country trip to CamaroFest VI and the trip to my dad's in Florida.

Normally I would have been back at home a week ago, but I had to spend an extra week at my dad's house due to a 6 day hospital stay for my step mom.

For once, I have no reports of damage to my car after the trip!

I'd like to thank the Moderators and sponsors for putting on a wonderful Fest!

Also, It was really nice to see my old friends and the the new ones I made.

Below are pics of my car at the Saturday car show and of the final odometer and gas mileage displays one I reached home, followed by pics of the many bugs that gave their lives in order that could I reach home safely...

It was great seeing you again this year Vance. I am happy to hear you made it safely and without road dammage. I think with your extended trip to Florida you may have won the long haul this year. Although we did have some people from Canada so I am not sure what their mileage was.

I thought that was your car parked at the Hilton Garden Inn during the fest with the Cali plates but I didn't get a chance to meet you. These cars are great cruisers when they need to be with better than advertised mpg especially on long trips. Glad you made it home safely and hope your stepmom is recovering well. Sweet ride and the blue looks great.

P.S. I really dig the picture in your signature as that is one of my all time favorite funniest movie in my opinion and a lot of the chase scenes were filmed on Ortega Hwy 74 in SoCal, which was one of my favorite drives back in the day.

Thanks for the compliment!

We probably saw each other, but didn't realize it.

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" is my favorite movie and I have been up and down Seven Level Hill (opening driving scene) on the 74 a few times, but not yet with the ZL1.

Now that I have the SunTek protective film on the front, rear quarters and roof of the car, I will plan on organizing a cruise on that route soon.

Well, after a more thorough cleaning today, it turns out that I actually did sustain damage on the way home from the Fest.

Woe is me I suppose..
