138,181 miles at departure. Plan on an oil change in San Diego when we are at North Island Naval Air Station and I can use the Auto Hobby Shop. I use Mobil 1 High Mileage. I installed (hard-wired) spare 12 VDC outlets and a 120 VAC inverter under the passenger seat to always have power to maintain our Digital Lifestyle (21st Century lingo). I brought enough tools to do a plenum pull and I am carrying a spare alternator. Any repairs beyond that will require support of a garage and over-night shipping. Quote:

Re: ZR-1 Road Trip 2014 - California or Bust
Hello from Fort Smith, Arkansas. We spent the day on I-40 heading west.
We stopped near Memphis and got some BBQ. If you are in the area, Reggi's BBQ was great: I-40 from the Mississippi River to west of Little Rock was a mess. There were two extensive construction areas and then rush hour traffic around Little Rock and a fender bender to snarl traffic there. We also had some rain today, so not much sight seeing. Thanks George for the offer. When we are in LA I hope we can meet you and take some pictures. We will be in LA on the 19th and 20th. Mike, Thanks for the heads up about the sand storms in SOCAL.

Re: ZR-1 Road Trip 2014 - California or Bust
the video shows the beauty of 550
I lived in Telluride for 5 years, it is 1 road into a box canyon that dead ends at the mine/Bridal Veil falls, 8700 feet surrounded on 3 sides with 13/14K mountains SW Colo is beautiful My friend has done avalanche control for 550 for the last 20 years, throwing bombs out of a high altitude helicopter, don't worry about the Z, they close the road |

Re: ZR-1 Road Trip 2014 - California or Bust
While your here... If your wanting to do a West Coast ( Irvine, CA ) Cars and Coffee we could meet up and have a good excuse to get our ZR-1s out for a little fun! This could be an opportunity for the ZR-1 net members to welcome you along your journey! Its early... 6am to 8 am is prime time, however... its good till 10 or 11 am when I have been there.
