Congratulations on your trip and entertaining posts. I followed your progress with interest and suspect most of the forum members have been more than a little jealous of the chance to drive the cat through such amazing country and for so many miles! Congratulations also on avoiding any speeding tickets, I'm not sure how you managed that.

Road trip to FL

I of course didn't know this and blew through it making lots of noise, and just got lucky. Found out after the fact how lucky I got.

As already noted, lots of luck in general.

We passed on SKYLINE drive due to weather but got in front of the storm that hit the DC area on 3/6. Very impressed with the JAG in rain, wipers and traction were excellent.

Shout out to Cori Ridley @ West Palm Jaguar/Aston Marten for offering her dealer car wash service, the timing was perfect!! We met Cori in her Red F-type at a red light......serendipity!!

We took her advice and cruised A1A with the top down until we got to deerfiled, FL and stayed over night.

Pulled over once but only received a warning, not sure what i did to deserve that.
