[QUOTE="Relaxed Chaos, post: 16673188, member: 64993"] Day 10 - Wrapped up the road trip with a drive from Kansas City back to Western Wisconsin. No noteworthy things happened during this last long drive to get home. Here's were my trip ended:[ATTACH type="full" alt="PXL_20210916_215553341.jpg"]1721560[/ATTACH] Some thoughts and questions on the GT350: The good: The car is amazing.
