Saw this car at Rennsport. All of that striping, both the yellow and the black, is done in tape. It's not paint.

Instead of driving to Florida from DC, you can get a full luxury sleeper and get your car hauled for a price..
How cool is that?


https://amtrakguide.com/routes/auto-train/
Amtrak’s Auto Train is an overnight route between Virginia and Florida that allows passengers to take cars, motorcycles and some other special vehicles on the train for a fee (view requirements). This route is the only one in the United States that transports cars, and on-board amenities include WiFi, a dining car for sleeper car passengers and a café.

You can reserve coach seats, roomettes or bedrooms on the Auto Train. Coach seats are the cheapest option. Expect to pay around $100 to $200 for a one-way coach ticket. Prices vary depending on how far in advance you book your ticket and other factors.

Roomette prices range from around $500 to over $700. Bedrooms cost over $1,000 and include a private shower, sink, toilet and two beds (one is wider than the other). Maximum occupancy is two adults in both of these room types. There is also a family bedroom for two adults and two children and bedroom suites, which are connecting bedrooms (you’ll need to purchase two rooms). Note that prices for roomettes and bedrooms include meals and coffee.

In addition to ticket fees, you’ll also pay fees for each vehicle you are transporting. Prices range from $150 to $300 per vehicle.

Used the AutoTrain to take my RS Clone to the 24 hours. Great trip, though the train is full of old folks. Dinner at 5 and 7. But nice ride. Left Lorton early afternoon and was in Sanford by 8AM at the track by 9. Great trip
