Sometimes I have had a passenger , sometimes solo.
Oh did I mention the car has no top? On a last note I will be driving from Santa Fe , to Mt Shasta Ca, and back in mid June , 4,000 mile trip and no top, just a tonneau. I vote for the drive .
P.S. I am 62 yrs young

I got to drive an Elan once years ago and it was intoxicating. I would take trips like that in an Elan in a minute! You're lucky to be able to do that.

I drove my Targa 16 hours from Chicago to CO in a day, spent a week in the mountains, 16 hours back in a day to go home, top off the entire time.
