well im back from my vacation. we traveled through IN, OH, TN, KN, and ended up in Mt. Rogers, virginia. the driving was fun for the most part. i had never experienced roads as windy and twisty. my mom's passat, while being a fine automobile, was not made for roads such as these. these were the twistiest mountain roads in the east, made for drivers who just enjoy a spirited drive and made for cars built with handling in mind. i think that these roads would be a drifters paradise. anyway, the only exciting things driving around on them were a couple CBR's and a nice turbo FC.
the trip on the other hand was great too. while in Gatlinburg, TN, i had the chance to visit two unique museums. the first of which was a classic muscle car museum. this place had every classic muscle car you could ever imagine. everything rangine from mint shelby gt500s, to a classic GTO, to a '62 vette (all orignial, no miles whatsoever) it even had the original car from the classic movie "Vanishing Point" still with the dirt and dust from the movie set. the second museum was called "Star Cars" and it had various famous cars from famous movies. these cars were not take offs or anything, they were the real cars from the real sets. parked outside and in the foyer of the building were the late '60s camaro from charlie's angels, one of the red MINI's from the Italian Job, and the number 4 of 6 eclipse from F&F and the number 3 skyline gtr r34 from 2F2F. just getting to see this car was worth the price of admission. it did have all that ricey body kit and paint job, but it also had a full roll cage, 3 carbon nitrous bottles, a single Nismo seat w/ full racing harness. it also had a nice fmic, Nismo stb, and exhaust, but other than that, appeared to be stock. but still it was the only skyline ive ever seen. amoung the other cars in the museum were one of the "elenors" from gone in 60 seconds, the back 2 the future delorean, and of course, one of the many general lees(in fact, i was in Hazard cnty about 6 hours ago.) anyway, sorry such a long post, but i just thought i would share my trip. i have pictures of both museums, some of which are on a digital camera and some of which are not, so i will probably have to send these pics to one of you so you can post them up for everyone to see. -------------------- 2001 Chevy Silverado ext. cab 4x4
