A road trip with the SSR is a premier automotive experience. I encourage everyone to do this at least once. Using it for daily transportation is acceptable, but being on the open road is where this vehicle belongs. My wife and I just returned from a 5800 mile trip. Michigan, St. Louis, Tulsa, Amarillo, Roswell, Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands, Tombstone, Tuscon, Phoenix, Jerome, Payson, Kingman, Las Vegas, Green River, Arches NP, Moab, Cortez, Durango, Wolf Creek Pass, Colorado Springs, Kansas City, Michigan.
I cannot be really objective about this, but the performance, ride, and handling are made for this type activity. Putting the top down in the mountains is a real rush.
Last year around July 4th, Marie and I took an early production SSR to Las Vegas and back, accumulating over 4600 miles. We went though Colorado, northern Arizona and southern Utah. Monarch pass, Red Mountain Pass, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Ouray, Silverton, Durango, Mexican Hat, Monument Valley, Page, north rim of the Grand Canyon, Zion NP.
I will post some of our pictures when I have time.
I have probably driven SSRs more miles than any single person and I still get a thrill. We will never produce enough to make them ordinary vehicles. You have to be ready for the attention when you buy an SSR, and I believe that will be true for many years.
