Okay. I-35 is a pretty damn boring drive. No twistys. No scenery to speak of. Just Schneider trucks and Flying Js. I've driven Dallas to KC once and hated it...albeit that was in an '04 Tacoma Pre-Runner with absolutely no highway power. Or cruise control. Then there's the issue of a few stretches of Oklahoma's highways that'll rattle a filling out of your head.
Sooo. I'll be patient and ship. But I'm still going up there to take all the pictures I can before it gets on a truck. I'm burning AAdvantage miles so I'm only out a hotel room...and the shipping.
Thanks for the input everybody. I did buy this car to drive it, and yes it will get rock chips. I'd just rather get them from a more spirited drive.
