IML: Baltimore to Shepherdstown and back in a '67

[Mike Pittinaro <mechimike@xxxxxxxxx>]

This weekend my S/O and I had planned a little fall
getaway to comemmorate 2 years of her putting up with
me.  Destination: Shepherdstown, WV, the oldest town
in WV.  After some wheeling and dealing I got her to
agree to take the yellow '67 coupe.  

It was a beautiful wekeend for a drive in the
Imperial.  I filled up with gas in Baltimore, picked
her up at her office in D.C. Friday afternoon, then we
drove straight to Shepherdstown, via 270 and I70, then
onto rt 34 which takes you straight into WV.  On the
way home, After passing Frederick, MD on I70, I got
off and took 2 lane country roads home.  Though the
roads were twisty, and the leaves falling, the
Imperial handled beautifully.  Despite its size, its
more fun driving it at 50 mph on some twisty country
roads than 90 on the open highway.  The weather was
perfect- sunny and 70 degrees- and the windows were
down and the radio going.  

The best parts about the whole trip, carwise, anyway
(*grin*) were the spectacular photos taken from the
car while driving through the country, the pictures of
the small town we stayed in, and the fact that for the
whole trip, I didn't even use one tank of gas.  I had
changed the oil before we left, and had 4 brand new
whitewalls installed, and the car worked....perfectly.

*sigh*  Well, back to the real world!
