Anyone have any suggestions on places to go, roads to drive, etc?
Here's the plan so far:
- 2 days in NYC
- Pick the car up on a Monday.
- Drive to Washington DC and be a tourist for one day.
- Drive to the Spartanburg Factory for a tour. Possibly taking a long way around through the Appalachian Mountains where possible and time permitting.
- Drive the "Tail of the Dragon" route North of there that I have seen recommended.
- Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock route back to Dallas. Somewhere at this point the car will be past the break in period and I can go nuts 
Any suggestions are welcome! I have a friend that will be coming along for the journey and will try to get loads of pictures of the new ride along the way! |
If you are interested in history, touring the Gettysburg battlefield (south central PA) should be on your list. You can take bus tours, walking tours, or even have a tour guide hop in your car and you drive around with him/her talking you through the battlefield. Its a great time, but you would need most of a day to make it worth the visit. The tours are a couple of hours, but you would want some time to explore for yourself too. Just a thought for your consideration.
