Ken's car was damaged by an 18 wheeler wanting to be in his lane in Memphis, but he and Vicki are fine and will motor on!

Well that sucks,,,, another RT war story.
But, it resolves Ken's dilemma from up in Post #9.
I guess 18 wheelers get to go wherever they want to go.

That's enough to make you sick! Glad Ken and Viciki are OK. Think I would have the rear end alignment checked as a pre cautionary measure.

It's not all about potholes and rocks

Re: Road Tour 2016!

If you have a nice car, and want to keep it nice, don't take it on a road tour. Beats the crap out of it. The roads in this part of the country are full of potholes. Almost wrecked this afternoon in Indiana avoiding one, went well over the rumble strip onto the shoulder before I got it straight. Learned a lesson; don't try to save your car, tires, or wheels, just let it get beat to hell. Cars are like a new pair of sneakers. Keep flexing and bending them, and eventually they aren't new any more, even if you never walk far enough in them to wear the soles. They're all soft and mushy. Cars do the same thing, they get soft and mushy. Following other cars in a procession also places it in jeopardy of taking a rock in the windshield, and elevated rock hits on the nose. Running by yourself, maintaining adequate distance minimizes road rash.

I left our tour yesterday after only 700 miles. Too hard on me and the car. I'm much happier now by myself.

I did the last 500 miles of 09 to San Jose for my founder's requirement. I told myself "never again" after that deal. I had a feeling I was nuts attempting another one this year. Next time I'll listen to myself. Road Tours aren't for everyone, but there's 109 other cars that disagree with me, which is fine.

Ya'll have a good time.

The roads are the same if you are just driving your car or on the road tour. Understand they are not going to repave the road for our road tour. Your statement "maintaining adequate distance minimizes road rash" is good advice no matter what driving you are doing on the road. No need to tailgate.
