The best case (which I did this past summer) is you and your wife get some great times driving across the country in an amazing car, create some very cool memories and 'unplug' from your life for a few days. Don't check your email more than once every other day (if at all) and you'll cherish the memory for the rest of your life.  |

Many long Years ago I was driving my 1956 Jaguar XK140 across country, from NJ to CA, to visit my uncle. I stopped in a gas station in Texas to fill up and check under the hood, an older fella that worked there came out to chat.
"What kind of car is that? He asked
"It's a 1956 Jaguar XK140" (I replied with much 19 yr old pride)
"Well you better not have no trouble with that while you are round here" he said "'Cause I worked here 22 yrs and I ain't never seen one of these."
The rest of the trip was just as delightful as the first part had been.
Don't over think things. Just do it!! These cars are much tougher than that old Jaguar was, and I still have great memories of that first long trip in a sports car.
