This weekend my wife and I decided to go on a little road trip in the vette which is a 92 LT1 by the way and we decided to go over to Effingham Illinois which is home to Mid America Motorworks. We live in southern Missouri so we decided to go east on 60 hwy and enter Illinois through the southern tip which is Interstate 57. Well, we arrived at Effingham and went first off to visit Mid America Motorworks and I must say that we both throughly enjoyed seeing the cars in the museum and did a little shopping in the retail section. This was especially enjoyable to me-it was like being in a Corvette candy store. Those of you that have been there know what I'm talking about. I would sure like to attend the upcoming festival in September but I already have another committment and that is visiting both my sons who are serving in the military- one in the Air Force and the other a Marine. The learning part had to do with traveling in the vette. As much as I love driving that car I came to the realization that for the wife and I it just wasn't our cup of tea for long trips. I'm pushing 60 on the calendar but I am still in very good health. Maybe I'm just spoiled to traveling in the wife's Buick which is super comfortable and almost gets as good gas mileage as the vette!lol! Anyway just a little experience I thought I'd share if anyone is interested. Happy trails!
