tell me about...using your teener long distance., on a family trip away from my garage and daydreaming... Options

as my handle suggests, i came from the britcar world and wandered into teener-land. my daily driver is a '72 MGB GT and while i enjoy driving her anywhere, she has the factory-option overdrive, and cruises happily at 75 on the interstate, i would think that the teener--15 years newer technology, fuel injection, dealer a/c, true 5 speed--would be a better long-distance-cruiser. i've had my teener a couple years but haven't gotten 'round to fixing her up. i'm planning to start this winter. so, tell me how good my teener will be at long distances and care-free interstate travel....

My trip to Route 66 in Albuquerque in March. Started at my home in Corvallis Oregon. Drove to Burley Idaho bought a truck. Flat towed my 914 to Salt Lake City where I picked up my daughter & left my 914. Drove from SLC to Moab & stayed the night. Drove down to Albuquerque from Moab. At Route 66 did the drive with everyone. From there went to The Grand Canyon. After the Grand Canyon we drove to Las Vegas. I had to work there for a few days. Then drive back to SLC. Then from SLC back home. Total on the trip I logged about 3500 miles. About 800 of those in the truck I bought & flat towed the 914. Only issue we had was a dead animal in the 914 longitude that I couldn't find (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif)
My next drive will be much nice as I am having A/C installed. Hoping Mark can get it finished in the next day or so.

Driving down to SLC in Sept. shouldn't be too warm, but really looking forward to seeing the A/C install. From here to GJ then to Moab may be a little warm but you never really know around here... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
