Both are prone to breaking down in some manner. White car easier to fix, Blue car more difficult to fix if needed.
Blue car originally delivered to Daytona International Speedway for promotions during the 500 in 1992.

So,I sit here wonder how much hell I would catch if the AC wasn't fixed this year...not in the mood, however, to fine out.

Google says it's 10-ish hours to Indy. Puts me around 6-7 hours with the way I drive, plus I want to test how the toploader, 2.75 gears, and a mild 351c at 5000 RPM will feel on the highway.
I am planning on shooting down I 80 eastbound until Des Moines and take a different route than the #1 route suggested of going todavenport then head south.
Looking at wanting to try a route I've not taken before.
When were you headed out? Wednesday Morning?
Depending on where you are, any suggestions for a motel/hotel to stop off would be helpful.
