Default From Washington D.C. to Denver.....

From Washington D.C. to Denver, 1700 miles in 4 days. One snow storm, and two ice storms with 3 inches of ground clearance and summer perfomance tires but the Z made the trip like a champ!

Nice dude, ya, ive done that trip three times, denver to falls church, then back to denver and then another falls church to denver trip. Way to many times. Did it in two days each time! As David said, very little was done the rest of the week other than sleep and sitting in hot tubs... Glad to have you back, will have to get together, not much going right now cause of the cold season but we can at the least all get together for drinks or something!

I sold the OEM wheels because they wouldn't fit over then new brakes. At times it would have been nice to have some snow tires, but even without them the car performed great. TCS did get a workout though...

Glad to hear we all have this CO to VA connection. LOL Hard to beleve Spivey did it 3X! WAYY too tiring...

I recall driving I-70 through to Pittsburg and then taking Rt. 66 through the switchbacks and rural areas of Pennsylvania. Good roads to drive on, but it was earlier in the fall and we had rain and snow in various parts. I wouldn't mind doing it again, with the time and money to actually ENJOY the trip!

I have a broker in Okinawa looking for an R33 or R34 GT-R for me. Just want to say I owned a GT-R in my life and I can't afford the R-35, so I will settle for an older one for two years while I live in Japan.
