Brits driving from Chicago to Miami

[Livetodrive]

All, upon review proposing an alternate destination was perhaps a little rude. Chalk it up to infatuation with the desert or possibly brain cell damage from muscle car exhaust fumes. This trip is shaping up so well I might do it again myself this summer. A couple of additional suggestions I would add are the Volo classic car museum just south of Chicago and the Floyd Garret Muscle car museum in Pigeon Forge Tennesee and the incredible Cavern tours. Depending on your route, there is an excellent two lane twisty road that takes you through the smokey mountains. Depending on your sensibilities, you may want to make Pigeon Forge a morning visit as it is still classified as a "Dry Town". A wonder in itself in this day and age but there are no bars, I do believe that they may now allow wine/beer to be sold in restaraunts. The irony is that Tennessee is the birthplace of the world famous Jack Daniels sipping whisky! Funny story, I restored a Dodge Challenger similiar to the one used in the movie Vanishing point that I use for roadtrips. When we arrived in Pigeon Forge after traversing the Smokies we did the Cavern tour parked the car and walked away from the motel to find a cold beverage. Two hours of walking later, still no cold beverage and I learned all about the "Dry Town" way of life. A few hours rest and we headed out on the open road again missing the car museum. Guess whats in the museum but the "Vanishing Point" Challenger used in the movie. Duh!
