Aloha Everyone, Driving across the USA in my new Corvette was even more fun than I had hoped for. This was a trip of a lifetime. I flew to Washington DC from Hilo, Hawaii to pick up a perfect 2003 50th Anniversary model convertible low-mileage beauty from Bob Arnold at Cooper Corvettes in Triangle, VA. He and his staff did a great job getting the car ready for the long drive, including a new set of top-flight tires. Thanks, Bob, you're a credit to our hobby. First stop was central New York. My mom and Dad moved from their longtime house to a very nice retirement home. I stayed for a week and did what I could to help out. While there, I went to they Syracuse National Car Show. There were over 7000 cars from all over the US. It would take days to see them all. The Corvette Museum and Assembly Plant, located in Bowling Green, KY, were endlessly fascinating. The rolling hills and forest are beautiful. I took a back road into Bowling Green and drove through some great country, perfect for a Corvette. All Corvette lovers must see the National Museum and Assembly Plant. It brought tears to my eyes viewing the great displays and moments in Corvette history. Also, many of the historical Corvettes are on display. Driving thru the South was a challenge. Without my GPS, I might still be driving around in circles. In Memphis, a large rock hit my windshield, putting a good sized ding in the expensive Heads Up Glass, a special glass that reflects an on-screen view of your instrument panel. I did a repair in New Mexico while visiting my old friends Steve and Beau. Thanks, Steve and Beau, for your friendship and help. Parts of Route 66 are still in use so I drove on what's left, visiting many roadside attractions and Indian stores. In Amarillo, TX, I found the American Quarter Horse Museum right next to the Motel where I had stopped for the night. Its' a must see for anyone who loves horses. After a stay in New Mexico, it was off to Arizona. What a great state! Very diverse, with every kind of land you can imagine. I stayed in Williams, AZ, which still looks like it did in the heyday of Route 66. Williams is a mountain town with lots to see. Then the Grand Canyon, it's grand. Difficult to put into words, but I'm very glad I took the time to see this American wonder. The last leg was California, across the Mohave Desert in 109 degree heat. Then into the heavy LA traffic and a white knuckle drive to Long Beach. The Queen Mary is where I stayed for two wonderful days, crawling all over this endlessly fantastic ship. Finally, I dropped my most beloved and faithful Corvette off at the Matson docks for its sea voyage to Hawaii and its new home. This wonderful drive put over 4000 miles on my low mileage 2003 50th Anniversary convertible. She never missed a beat, burned not a drop of oil, and averaged over 30 miles per gallon at 80mph with the air on. What a car! Having owned over 100 cars in my 65 years, I can honestly say this Corvette is the best road auto I have ever driven. This is my 7th Corvette in a car history spanning over 40 years, and by far the best. The lack of long haul Corvettes on the superhighways was somewhat perplexing. I guess folks do not want to put road wear on their beauties. My car did take a few hits along the way, but a nose cover and some luck helped. Corvettes were made for the road, and that's what I did. I would do it again in a New York minute. A big mahalo to my wonderful wife who encouraged me to take the plunge and go for it. (After talking about this trip for 20 years!). I will never forget all the great people I met on the road. The Corvette never failed to draw a crowd whenever I stopped. Best regards and see you on the road ~ Colin McIver, Keaau, Hawaii
