Damn damn damn!  I wish my car was tight I'd burn up there and cruise along for a bit.   I don't drive out of my free tow zone.  :)

I only have AAA with 200 miles of towing ...............and I am 2500 miles from home...and I  also had to swap my diff with another chally mate in Navajo Nation.and they got home to Colorado with my chattering rear end, 

when is the last time you can see a chally from Holland..with you car?

If you are at least 200 miles from our destination I would love to meet you









and Roland is10,000 miles from home and he has limited insurance...and Roland is asking"where is your" American pioneer spirit"? :wavingflag:

Cool pix!
Is Rolland a lot taller than the rest of you? Or is it just perspective?
 :cheers: Looks like a fun trip  :cheers:

I'm Rolland from Holand.
Ok, I got a few beers, it could also be Roland from Holland  ;)

The Dutch are the tallest people in the world, and to Dutch standards, I'm tall, so you figure out  ;)

Roland, is that a Dive Flag on your license plate?
You're mixing up 2 black Challengers; that's Drew's Chally.

But indeed, he is a diver

Oh Ok I see now, cool plate Drew. I am a diver too. what state offers that as an option?
and Roland, yes you are quite tall, you made Brad look like an average height in that picture. If you guys were anywhere close to me I would have loved to meet up and participate in some of the trip. I am envious but since I am down here in the dirty southeast it would have been a haul. If my car were anywhere near as done and reliable as ya'lls are I would do a trip like that in a minute. Looks awesome. Keep the beautiful scenery pics comin.

That is a vintage auto tag from Colorado. They don't offer the dive tag as an option, but they way the plate is configured, there is a large blank area that the state put a hokey looking car profile on in that area. You can cover that car up pertty easily with a sticker. I've seen NHRA tsickers, Mopar M stickers, Bow Ties, Olds Rockets, you name it.

Ok we have a similar tag here in Ga with some early model A car on the side like that. That makes sense now.

This might catch on as a yearly run. The Pontiac guys have their Bandit Run every year. Would be a good idea to include the cuda guys as well.

It would be uber cool to have about a hundred e-bodies running across the U.S..

Loved the Cisco / Jag pix and back story on the bridge washing out.  I would've never recognized it without the one lane bridge.

I hear ya, one of the reasons I didn't do a vintage tag for mine. I started diving in 2001, one of my favorite things to do. I am somewhat closer to dive spots than you as I can be in Panama City Beach in 5 hours or West Palm beach in 12. Going to the Keys next month  :cooldancing:

I bet that trip you guys are on is awesome. great scenery and I bet a blast to run those roads at speed. Y'all keep on trucking and be careful.  :burnout:
