Home after 1000 miles - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I really enjoyed my drive home from Ohio to Maryland when I picked up my car. I didn't enjoy the police escort I seemed to have often along the route. (Get used to it I know). I had one trooper follow for awhile and I finally pulled off at a rest stop. Took my time. Spoke to a truck driver who was admiring the car. When I pulled back onto the highway, that trooper had also pulled over and had waited for me! He followed me for another 10 minutes or so and then gave up. My brother is a police officer and he even admitted that this guy was a dufus.

Glad to hear another ZR-1 is coming to Florida.

Make sure to list it in the poll as we are under represented.

Here is a link for buying a used ZR-1 and look through the other parts of the site. Needless to say I'd encourage you to become a member in the coming weeks being a full fledged KOTH owner.

Good luck and let us know how your trip goes.

Funny how some cars migrate from one area to another, and sometimes back again. I bought my 1995 Pace Car in Naples, FL back in December of 2000. Stopped in Orlando for the night, then drove home to IL the next day. When I bought my Z from my Aunt in Orlando, the guy who bought my PC was from Stuart, FL. That worked out pretty good, drove the PC down on Thursday, spent a couple days in Orlando, and drove the Z home Sunday/Monday!

I took the fast way getting there, just rolling the interstates. But on the way home, I stopped off in western NC for the night, and played around a bit on the roads there Sunday night, Monday morning.

Only tip I can give you is Change your Oil, Wash it & Put 2 coats of Wax on Your ZR1 & park your ZR1 next to a ZR1 with 60,000 or less you would be surprise.

Welcome to the Family & Enjoy your ZR1.
