My Adventure turned out a little Greater than I expected. I flew to Detroit Saturday morning to get my first feel of her. Everything was as described and the deal was sealed. She is older, white and American as promised. It took some doing to find a one owner, fully optioned, original truck in good shape. Michigan is very pretty this time of year lots of beavers! Took a five hour trip down I69 into Indiana and stopped 30 miles north for a hotel. Much to my surprise there was a WH across the street. Except the name is Waffle & Steak. Everything inside said WH though and it was just like being home.
http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/500/15DSC01679.JPG
I went to the Indy 500 since I was there. It is quite the spectacle to behold in a lifetime. Everyone parks in the neighborhood yards for 10-100 bucks.
http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/500/15DSC01685-med.JPG
They dried the track by hand with towels it took a long time!
http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/500/15DSC01705.JPG
The drive home was INSANE! If you watched the weather you knew there were numerous tornadoes and strong storms from North Arkansas- South Illinois. I got some MPG's of large debris and torrential rains. There was nowhere to hide and it was sheer luck I made it through unscaved. I was worried I was going to loose my truck the second day I had it. There were trees and leaves down everywhere. Cars in ditches, signs tweaked over etc..
There was front row parking everywhere I ate:bows . I tried a Shake & Steak for the first time in Illinois. The burger was okay cheap price but the shake was great.
http://www.svtgalleries.net/gallery/data/500/15DSC01720.JPG
Finally once I got to Little Rock this morning the sun came out and the WH's are WH's. Again more front row L parking:tu:

The furry animals with fat black tails that chew on wood. They are dead on the roadside in Michigan like you see skunks and dillos down here. There are ponds, lakes, and woods everywhere up there. It was very pretty country side. I owe a big thanks to Dennis and a few others who made this trip possible and an overall sucess. Ya'll Rockknana :bows

Apparently every celebrity on Earth comes to the Indy 500. Chevy had about 50 C5's a C6, and a dozen SSR's to carry them around for a parade lap.

Sorry about all the pics dial up folks. I never drove a gen 1 before buying this one. After making it 1400 miles in 2.5 days through 7 hours of rain and 4 live tornadoes. I can say it is every bit the road truck I could want. I averaged 15mph and with two tanks it had a range of 500 miles. Bad news is you have to fill two tanks and it runs over $70 bucks @ 2 bucks a gallon:eek: .

Yeah I still feel like I am driving that is a little haul from the Canadian border, minus the tornadoes:hammer: . If you look closely you can see debris flying left to right. I drove Detroit to Indy the first afternoon. I landed in Detroit about 4PM. Watched the race Sunday then drove from Indy to Little Rock by about 2AM, then from the Little Rock WH about 10-the shop at 3PM. I used cruise control and 65-70mph most of the trip. Very nice riding truck. It is the next best thing to owning a gen2:(

I'd like to see Michigan in the spring/summer. It was dead of winter when we went to Lansing from OH in Laney's car.
There's alot up north that's different than down here... the people and everything. We hit a McDonalds in Indiana one time and they served bratwursts on the menu.
Never cared for Steak and Shake or White Castle - they're just Mc D knockoffs, IMO. WH is good though...wished they had one in Frisco.
Laney lived in Indy for years and said it's like the Super Bowl up there every year.
Nice looking rig, Terry! I sorta' like road-trips through new territory. Try Dallas/Vegas/Phoenix/Dallas sometimes. :eek2:
You didn't want to buy Stan's Gen I? :cool:

very nice TC- The white ones are hard to come by- looks like you got a nice one.
I drove mine back from Atlanta when I bought and its just as comfortable or maybe a little more than the G2 for long road trips.
