Let me tell ya about the BEST drive of my life..I'd just bought Ol' Blue in January 2010, was using her as a DD. I always take my vacations the week before Memorial day, that way I get a three-day weekend following my week off. ANYWAY, it had been quite a few years since I drove down A1A from Jacksonville Fla to Daytona/Cocoa Beach area, one of my favorite vacation destinations. The LAST time I drove it was with my 4th generation.
So I book a room down around Vero Beach and drive down. what a BEAUTIFUL ride! riding right by the beach, people staring at me and pointing, waving...you know..SO about the middle of the week, I start to get 'the itch' to hit the road again, and I see that Key West isn't THAT far (oh yeah it was
) from Vero Beach, so I get up early and head out, down through Miami and on to the Keys...
It was amazing! perfect day, light traffic, bluest water I ever saw, and just a great unforgettable experience..didn't stay long in Key West though, I drove around a couple of times (not that big of a place) and headed back...I really bonded with my car on that trip...Here's a pic I took on the way home..She looks a bit different now than she did then, (I got mod fever)
