Covid took a little more than two years of prime driving time away, so today in 27 degree weather I decided to go for a ride. The sun was shining the roads were pretty clear so I went on some errands to pick up some car parts for my nieces Jeep and some other few side trips, during this drive I crossed the 243,000 mile barrier
I usually go out on Dec 31st and follow that up with a drive on Jan 1st. The weather forecast looks not too good for those days so this might be the last one for this year
All in all a great day

Mine are all tucked away for the winter so good hear that someone else is able to get theirs out. I and I am positive others are glad for your update.
Steve you are THE Shelby Ambassador!!
YES, I took a few out on Christmas, then the snow came and salt, in Knoxville! It was fun! The beauty of Knoxville is that it will rain and clear the roads, thus I should be out again!
good job, meant to be driven
That is awesome Steve. I would love to do the same but they salted my neighborhood roads so heavy it looks like it snowed so am afraid I am done for the season.

Very cool! Mine is about 110,000 miles behind you, although the majority of the miles were put on by the original owners. One of the few good things about living along the central coast of California is, as long as it is not raining, it is driving weather. Hope you a few more in before the end of year.

Weather is hit and miss for my annual top down-news years day ride. May end up in something less worthy, but still a convertible.

Reminder of a time when the weather did not matter as much ;D
Rain in L.A. may ruin the annual Rose Parade route cruise...... :'(

It's a car use it or just look at it
Going hang gliding? Just throw it on the roof racks
A little sat on the roads scare you, then driving it at Bonneville will cause a heat attack
A little snow? It adds contrast for the photo op
It's the journey that makes it fun
Bill your car is the most honest one out there, love seeing it
