People drive on it just for the sake of driving :)

Are you sure you don't want to join, Bart?
I'd love to!

That's a very nice idea. I'll have to check to see how far i am from there (Central NJ).

Take care,
Al

About two hours for you, , 287 to I87 and then over the Cuomo Pete Seeger Bridge


Oh wow that's a lot farther than ii usually go :-)
Maybe when one comes closer to home (central NJ).
Thanks for the info.
I’ve been driving a Volvo long before anyone ever paid me to drive one.
That's probably because I've been driving one since 2015 and nobody has offered to pay me yet.
1998 v70, non turbo, FWD, base model, on the road from April 2nd, 2015 to July 26, 2023.

It's 3 hours and 45 minutes from me in NH and I'm considering the trip. Just need to find some other things to do on the way to make it worth it. Maybe stop at FCP on CT to buy/return some parts?

MrAI, I used to live in central NJ. Don't you want to get away from the population density and see some Volvos? 287 North is nice this time of year.

I have not seen a proposed time. How do we feel about starting at 10 to give everyone time to get there?
