Good deal. Didn't quite do six months, but my '91 and I have been to 47 of the lower 48 states.

Default I would think at least 6 months

Doing my planning, I figured six months is needed to really see everything and all 48 lower states. If I had more of a budget I would take a year off. But I think we know how much gas costs for the Z.

Will you be passing through SC? You should see if you could meet a Z member in each state and get a pic with your Z and theres showing the license plates

Just a thought but would make an amazing photo book!!

You can check in with me in SC to get that shot!
Eagle and Dzel like this.
