Default My 1st road trip...

My job sent me to Brunswick, Ga for some advanced training. It's about a hour south of Savannah and hour north of Jacksonville. It was a 5 day training so I decided to drive my GS down. Took me about 8-9 hours. After Va, posted speed limit is 70 so that actual means 80mph in the real world. NC, SC, GA troopers were out running radar but none came out. I guess 10mph over isn't worth the hassel. Got my wife 5lbs of large shrimps (Hella lot cheaper down there then here in DC). Anyway the car performed admirably, smooth as silk. Here some pics.

Caught a beautiful Sunset on the river...




And for 5 points can anyone tell me where this located?

sweet pics, and great to hear the GS ran smooth on the long road trip. If you gotta drive that far and for that many hours, it might as well be in the comfort of our GS's
