Thinking about road trip...where to go?

[Gforcefd]

So I am thinking of taking a road trip by myself in the spring time. Does anyone have any recommendations for a festiva road trip? Probably the eastern half of the USA.

If you go far enough south you're welcome to come and see me and Melissa. We have a spare room if ya need a place to stay, and plenty of festiva parking. Plus if you give me enough advance warning I can take a little time off from work (I love working for the state ) and we can head up to the dragon's tail for some spirited mountain driving. Its only a couple hours from us, and definitely worth the drive, and there's lots of nice scenery along the way as well.

I have always wanted to do the Dragon's tail, so I may take you up on that. I want to take like 4-5 days pack my festiva, and just enjoy the drive. Probably no radio so just the wind and the road. I love road trips.

I would like to have a B6 in the festiva by spring, but we will see, it would make that road even more fun.

Sounds like you need a Harley.LOL If ya want a long road trip some time, try the Blackhills of South Dakota.

Love the Black Hills. Wife and i took 4 day trip from Denver here and hit Devils Tower, and Mt Rushmore, Crazy Horse Monument, and then stayed at the base there in Rapid City since im retired Air Force and then stopped at a small campground coming home and rented a cabin with a small stream flowing by and caught some small trout. Was one of the best vacations we ever had.

I have a 1981 Yamaha Virago with about 6000 miles on it, but I am still not seasoned enough for a road trip like this one.

Drive the Blue Ridge parkway and do some camping in the mountains.

Oooooo that looks nice too matt. I could have a real good time on some twisty roads all the way down the coast and back.

That's pretty cool. I work on Ellsworth. Spent my last year in the Air Force there, Tanker Crew Chief. Now I'm an operator at the Water Reclaimation Plant. Next time out, give me a heads-up, and we'll get together.

Did the Dragon's Tail two years ago with my nephew from Jersey. Woo Wee, nuttin like zippin along on a Hayabusa, dodgin cars, bikes and Rubberneckers. Also spent some time on the Blueridge Parkway. Love that area, nothing but green for miles.

So I take it your not selling the car now? Put off your road trip till Oct and go to Festiva Madness in NC.

[GenevaDirt]

Or any number of other meets that would love to see the car.

[Pu241]

Yeah, the car!
Or get some one else to drive it down!

[Gforcefd]

The orange one I would not feel safe on a road trip. Not to mention the hemroid inducing springs that are on it :-P.

What I have planned for the yellow one:

5 spd swap
Suspension upgrade
fresh B6.

Should make a nice canyon carving spirited festiva.

I am hoping the orange car will not be orange come spring, then maybe I will make a meet, but I don't want to drive "the pimptiva" to another meet.
