Unofficial color survey

Just got back from a 1500 mile trip, for our house to Savanah Ga. Then to Asheville, NC to Jekyll Island ,Ga and home again.
To pass the time we counted Camaros!
Going north we spotted:
2 Victory red coupes
1 IBM coupe
3 SIM coupes
4 Rally yellow coupes
1 45th Ann. Coupe
2 Summit white coupes
1 CGM coupe
1 Synergy green coupe
1 IOM coupe
2 ICM verts
1 Victory red vert
1 JFB (black) vert

Mustangs were like love bugs, easily 30 for every Camaro.
Challengers, 4 for every Camaro.
We got 22 mpg going there.

On the way back:
8 JFB (black) coupes
3 Victory red coupes
1 Rally yellow coupe
2 Synergy green coupes
3 IBM coupes
2 CGM coupes
1 Summit white coupe
1 RJT coupe
2 SIM verts
1 CGM vert
1 IBM vert

About the same split on Mustangs and Challengers.
MPG bumped up to 24!

Must Camaros it seems stay in the left lane and were moving at a quicker pace than the rest of traffic! Go figure!
All but one vert had the top up?
Didn't spot an ABM.

I did get and share a thumbs up from an IBM Corvette vert. In south Fl. On the way back!

To all we passed or saw hope you had a safe trip home!

:( No SIM's? I take that back... 3 of them... I'll learn how to read one of theses days!

I got 27mpg on the dot with the cruise set at 70mph for 100 miles the other day. Makes me laugh!

I just changed the oil for the first time today. I'll laugh even harder if there is an mpg improvement!

Yeah im on the fence about the list feeling good yet, im trying to figure out if "red" means and stops at only seeing "red" or if RJT falls into his "red" category??? If not then I would say I win the unique award for his trip lol
