Cool, I thought so. Hwy 6 was the first part of my first road trip, c. two weeks into my Stinger. Had my son with me, on our way to Texas in mid April. After we got over Soldier Summit (and through the snow), I saw that my break-in 600 miles had reeled off; told my son, "Here we go", and dropped two gears while pulling out and around a lineup of semis and other vehicles (probably half a dozen or so). The highway was coming down and arrow straight, one of those spots where you can see at least a couple of miles to the next upgrade, and nobody was coming the other way. The pass was glorious and I was grinning like the fool as I coasted back onto our side of the road in front of everybody. "Dad! You just went 135 miles an hour!" My son was shaking his head and trying not to giggle. I glanced down at the dropping speedometer needle, and he must have been right, because it was still above 125. Felt like maybe 110 to me. That's how it is in this car, still: feels like twenty under what you're actually doing. Hah!

I'm not used to passing people so I get a little nervous if I saw any car coming so I would wait until I saw no headlights, I wouldnt pass more than one car or truck but I had to do it quite a bit in CA, lots of trucks

When I was going from Reno to Elko it was dark and the snow was so bad I couldn't see the road and had to follow a semi truck for about 7 miles

Absolutely. In the dark I do not pass. And the return trip from Texas that time, well after dark and stormy, also on Hwy 6, I did the same: followed the rear of an 18-wheeler for miles, pretty sure more than seven. Finally we got to one of those upgrades where a passing lane allows that and I escaped the spray. I am a passing fool, just not an idiot.

Damn that's an awesome trip. I plan to travel cross country someday with my camera. Just followed your IG.

 

[Stingin' Away]

You all will troll me for saying this..... I would hate to put all those miles on the stinger LOL I know I know, its a car... meant to be driven. I plan to do this during the summer months in the Malibu. Starting in Ohio going East to the Atlantic, down south following I-95.

I appreciate you documenting this. I'm sorry to hear about your father and I'm sure he was enjoying the ride as much as you were. Great journey! I have something to look forward to now, awesome!
