This evening, I'm outta here! Taking a vacation in Washington for a month and a half, 2000 miles. The Q is nothing short of amazing on road trips, and the roads of South Dakota and Montana are fantastic for spinning up a 32v V8. I really missed out last year when I flew.

My AC is pooched because I broke it and I should have bought a radar. Oh well! Its not really that humid once you get past South Dakota.
