ZHPizza's red car

[ZHPizza]

How did you fit all that stuff in the red car? Did you strip the interior before hand and sit on a stack of old newspapers for the first 7 hours??

awesome trip - that must've been great! but.... sad to see no pics of the red car trying to be a Touring. where's the All Loaded Up pics?

(and why didn't you take the Touring? )

I just really wanted to drive the red car so I made it work. That pic was actually at mile 700ish with the full load!

I pulled the passenger seat and rear bench/back/bolsters before the trip, so I drove up with just the driver's seat. Installed the new passenger seat and rear seat parts in place, driver's seat on the rear bench, three door panels in the trunk, one door panel behind the front seats, and the headliner...man...I did not have a plan for the headliner...I set it up on the rear deck (headrests removed) and shoved it all the way to the back glass, sunroof cutout fitting around the driver's seat laid in the back, and the rest softly bent down behind my driver's seat with the back leaned all the way forward. Very upright position for the drive home, but it wasn't bad.

Here's the driver's seat strapped in with a child-locked seatbelt:



And the headliner bent into place:

Impressive and entertaining as always.

Should have mentioned the part that you'll appreciate: The fatigue finally hit me at hour 15 when it got to full dark out, so I had to bust out the big guns to stay awake until I made it home: singing along to the entire Greatest Showman sound track. I'm talking that high note hitting sore throat type of work.

Wow, that's a heckuva parts run.

I'd definitely do it again, but make sure that I got back before dark.

Stop at the Biltmore Estate in Ashville next time.....

I 40 over the mountains is always a fun drive.

It was a great drive all the way through Tennessee, but no time for tourism. 16 hours was enough for one day.

Tbh I thought Kentucky was a pretty state. But I was on backroads the whole time.

I-75 is all potholes, deer carcasses, and Christian theme parks. I also ran into a Walmart to pee so got to see the real Kentucky.
