Just bought a 2004 Slingshot SSR in Des Moines, IA Am flying back to get it and drive it back home to sunny San Diego! Any specific advice for a memorable road trip in an SSR?

Make sure you take your CAMERA! Lots of FILM and/or storage...

I had weather conditions to deal with on my drive home after purchase - and really wish I'd been able to stop more often. I may even travel the same route in the future (Montana to CA) to get the shots I missed...

Also - post your route here - perhaps you could meet up with owners along the way (weren't but a handful when I drove home) getting photos of their SSR's too. lloger likes to have other owners sign his SSR book - which is a great idea too...

I have done the Pueblo to Vegas in my SSR. The Vegas to San Diego on various test trips with other vehicles.
