Packed up my apt yesterday.. exhausting! but it was worth it as I'm moving to SoCal!
Left Newport, RI ,today july 4th at 5:30am Father towing the trailer with his '99 silverado Ext 1500 with tow package and me in the 'Hawk.
Arrived in Springfield, Ohio @ ~7:40pm . A 14 hour day of driving... at the speed limit. Covered 820 miles. The hawk is filled with stff. Me included is the weight off 3 people. Ran into light rain in Ohio.
Happy we went the speed limit. Here in Ohio they are using POP radar and the valentine 1 isn't picking them up, but it's a moot point as we're going the speed limit. Over 5 days of driving , going whatever we want would only save us 6 hours... nothing compared to 5 days besides we have a trailer to worry about (6'X12')
Traffic was non-existent. Amazingly even on 95 near the NY state border & 287 and the tappanzee bridge, NYC area in general.
We went 95 to 287 to 80 through PA, to 71 to 70. Tomorrow is 70 to 44.
Day 3 I will be in Tulsa at my Fathers resting up.
Day 4-5 will be 44 to 40 and then all the way on that to CA from Tulsa
We co
Saw 2 Red 4th gen Camaro's 1 v6 and aa Z28. Even saw 5
MPG so far :
22. 4 in the Northeast. Mixed city, stops and turns etc. to Jersey
28 mpg in PA #1
28.5 Mpg PA #2
then 31.0 MPG <-- All time best.
Look for a Red Firehawk with RI plates that say GRRRRR If we're in you next of the country
No Pics or vid as we're busy trying to put miles behind us but several people slowed down to take pictures. Some bikers gave me a rev so I rev'ed back then they continued to blast off at triple digit speeds afterwards. Best was teh two college chicks that loved the car, and followed for 20 miles (ah if I wasn't moving!)
HAPPY 4th of July. Tomorrow we do it all again and burn rubber
