Finally, somewhere to post our road trip thoughts, observations, economy and photos!
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

Can we post about road trips even if we don't drive a Volvo anymore? :)

Hurray! One coming up to the Outer Banks in 2 weeks...in the Camry. :(

A duplicate of a trip I made several years ago in the Volvo. Went to the Outer Banks and Myrtle Beach in the same year with that car...that was a fun year.
