Our first leg of the journey takes us 950 miles from Chicago to Baton Rouge Louisiana. The event officially starts Friday morning so we’re making sure we get there in plenty of time. Tim is driving the Scion TC from Sticker Dude Graphics and Frank and I are taking turns piloting our AMS EVO X. And the Italian in the title, well Frank is Italian and I’m doing my Italian lessons on the computer. Nostra Viaggo = “Our trip”
The EVO X is so much nicer on the road than the EVO VIII-IX. Never mind the fact that it has cruise control but the general feel of the interior and the road manners are superb. Our EVO X has the MMCS navigation/radio and we are enjoying every minute of it! The NAVI is one of the best I’ve used and packaged with the satellite radio with media hard drive, it’s a ‘must’ option. Frank and I have been jammin’ to dance/electronica on the OEM Rockford Fosgate radio.
Frank and I ‘gettin down!
Our fresh set of BFGoodrich KDW’s. Hot! We have a set of BFG R1’s for track use, I’ll snap some shots of those later.
Things we do to stay awake at 1am.
