If you were in no hurry and headed a little south, 219 gets pretty curvy once you pass the windmills and you get into West VA and drive through the Monongahela National Forest. But, I digress, that is likely further south. How did the 370z do on the trip? I'm guessing if it was a pain (or as uncomfortable as say the backseat of a Volkswagen) to drive for hours you wouldn't have made the trip.
The drive back was a blast. Put the radar detector on and it saved me one ticket. I truly could drive the Z all day long. I made one stop to get a Whopper, pee and get gas, somewhere in Morgantown. It is too bad that we don't have any great drives her in NE Ohio. The roads are pot hole filled and bumpy. It was nice to drive on smooth highways again. I averaged 26 MPG, which is fantastic, and 64 MPH average speed on my trip back and forth.
