Are You Planning a Roadtrip this Summer with Your Saturn?

Are you planning a roadtrip this summer with your Saturn? Where will you be headed?

Charlie

[Xanatos]

No vacation time left this year. So no.

However, I took one in late April to Ohio from Colorado. I've also done two others. One other to Ohio, and another to California.

All in all, about 10K of the miles I've put on my car have been from cross country road trips.

[swoker183]

ill have to go with a may-be. still in the preliminary stages. i might go with my cousin, starting in CT to Maine and on the way back stop in new hampshire, and then in boston, and then come home. it will be a VERY long day trip

[ProDarwin]

Kinda. I go back and forth between VA and the midwest a lot. As a matter of fact, just this morning I got back from Flint (560 mile trip). With the car completely packed, I averaged 39.8 mpg over the whole trip. Not bad if you ask me.

[Hiddenlites]

I still need to replace the struts, tires and exhaust. Plus I don't know if the AC is still working. I haven't used it yet. So no road trips. If I get it done by September it might take its first road trip up to Milwaukee.

[Nuke-Em]

Not this year. It's actually an oddity for my family NOT to go on a road trip. However, my 88 year old grandma lives with us and her mobility has gotten very poor lately.

I think we need to clarify what Road trip means... To me, it must:

1. Be over 1000 miles round trip
2. Have more than 2 people
3. Have a party at the other end
4. Make you wish you had a radar detector

[mazik]

Yep, leaving in a few days from Atlanta to Little Rock, Arkansas and then to Kimberling City, Missouri (on Table Rock Lake in the Ozarks).....it's ~10 hours but got a Triptik to guide me.

[John10]

My wife and I and another couple are going on a week long two car road trip through western PA and Ohio. We have tickets for several baseball games in Pittsburgh and the new stadium in Cincinnati and also want to catch some nightlife in both cities. We also plan to visit the USAF Museum in Dayton to see the latest exhibit hanger and some of the special things commemorating the 100th anniversery of powered flight. Finally if things work out schedule and weather wise, we are going to try to meet up with Armadillo and her husband to check out their sailboat. On the way home we want to stop at the 9/11 crash site near Somerset, PA.

[unkle bik]

The wife & I are planning a road trip to the Upper Pennisula of Michigan this July.
One way to our destination is about 675 miles. From what we understand, there is plenty of open road up there with beautiful scenery. We will be in search of many of Michigan's lighthouses. So far we have visited about 45 of the 110. Lake Superior is the only Great Lake we haven't been to, yet.

If any you live up there or have visited there, post your comments on what to see, speed traps, beaches, microbreweries, etc.

[03VUEAWDVTI]

Yup, headed to Gresham, OR in about a month for a family reunion. I'll acutally be taking four trips over seven months.

[daver]

Daytona Beach, FL, to Ellison Bay, WI, from 8/7 to 8/18. Almost 3000 mi. round trip.

Just traded my '94 SC-2 for a '99 SC-2 with cruise, air, power sunroof. Decided tp drive the annual trip to the summer place this year, as I like to do about every 3 - 5 years. (My rental car for 10 days last year was almost $500, after flying to Milwaukee!!)

:redjump:

[Miso]

My family and I have planned a trip to Williamsburg, Va to visit
relatives and the colonial sites, again. A great place to visit!

Plan on spending a whole day at the air museum. It is one place you want to stop & smell the roses to speak. I was really impressed with the hangar exhibit featuring the U2 spy plane, Stealth bomber, and the ME-262. Just got back from the Akron MAPS air show Saturday & had a blast. Will post some pictures, soon.

My wife and I are planning our yearly trip to Cambria, California. Cambria, a small town on Highway 1 halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, is nestled between the forest and the Pacific Ocean. This is a yearly, long-weekend trip. We stay in San Simeon, about three minutes north of Cambria, at the Best Western Fireside Inn, which is located across the street from Hearst Castle, on the Ocean.

It’s a romantic spot. In the evening the hotel builds large fires on the beach. The hot fire makes the cold ocean breeze almost magical. Guests, who come from many nations, sit on logs and roast marshmallows and exchange ideas. It’s great fun.

A couple of miles up Highway 1, you can view Elephant Seals lying on the beach. There are a few good wineries with tasting rooms and the town of Cambria has excellent restaurants. And don’t forget the town of Harmony, population seven. It is a few miles south of Cambria, on 1. There is a winery, glass blowing art colony and a great pottery shop.

[piney]

Well, I was planning one for the 1997 SL2, but we'll be taking the Sable in stead since it replace the 1997 as the family wagon. Going to Atlanta for a week, Simpsonville SC for a few days, Virginia Beach for three days, Sweetwater NJ for ten days, then back South. Might stop in Charleston too, not sure yet.

I'm taking the SL2 to North Florida for a business trip in a couple of weeks, but that is only a few hundred miles.

[hoperlw1]

No, but we'd like to be going to Cape Breton.

[SW2Muck]

I'd like to, but it all depends how things go financially.

[Galileo]

Even though I'm not planning a road trip, I can't say that it won't happen this summer. I really enjoy driving and often go on short trips just for the fun of seeing new places. There have been times when I've taken 6 or 7 hour round trips planned the day before with different friends just to visit some quaint attraction for a couple of hours.

Last year, I went camping with a large group of friends in northern PA over the labor day weekend and will probably do it again this year.

[SL2GUY]

Yep going to Montreal to the Metallica concert. Then down to Toronto.

[IONicSaturn]

I'm actually going on somewhat of a mini-road trip this Wednesday, not with my Saturn though, but with my best friend's Altima. Him, his sister, and I are heading down to Jackson, New Jersey for the day to go to Six Flags Great Adventure. Then we're planning another trip there on July 3rd, with one more person. Over the summer my family, as well as myself and friends, will probably take several day trips down to the Jersey Shore, Seaside Heights and Wildwood (never been there), again, probably not with the Saturn although it may see the Pacific once or twice. There are a lot of fun and interesting things to do around here (and I always manage to find new places to visit everytime I go on one of these trips), so I think the Saturn will end up being the transportation mode of choice for those trips. At the end of the summer my family, hopefully, will be taking a trip out to Lancaster Pennsylvania, again not with the Saturn though. I hope everyone has fun on their road trips! Safe and happy driving!!! :yes:

[piney]

My granny owned a hotel there my whole youth and teenage years. It is like South Philly, just with a beach and ocean. Bring lots of ear-plugs.

Have a slice at Campus Pizza around 23rd Street on the boardwalk for me. Chase it with a large half and half soft serve with chocolate jimmys. :yes:

[PAGuy77]

Yeah taking a road trip to VA this summer. I have possibly considered a long road trip with my roomate in Feb, heading to Bonita Springs, FL. We have friends there. I figured along the way, I would have to stop in Orlando and visit my family.

I am curious to see how the Ion performs on a good road trip. From some of the highway driving I do, she cruises along quite well....:)

[IONicSaturn]

Oh my God, I can't believe what an idiot I am. probably not with the Saturn although it may see the Pacific once or twice.

I meant to say Atlantic, jeez. I did that the other day, too. :dizzy:

OK, when you say it's like South Philly does that mean it's urban and crowded and everybody's honking their car horns and screaming? I haven't been to Philly since, umm, '89, I think.
Just ONE slice?? :D That sounds good, I just ate baked ziti and now I'm hungry again! If I do go down there (I hope I do!), I'll definitely stop at Campus Pizza. Thanks for the advice.

Piney, maybe you'd know this... about how long of a trip is Wildwood from New York, or say Northern NJ (Bergen)? It takes about an hour and a half to get from Yonkers to Seaside Heights, with no traffic, not counting pit stops on the Garden State Pkwy (Cheesequake, usually), and I know Wildwood is further south (before or after Atlantic City?). I'm asking because I'm not 100% sure a stay-over trip there will be possible this year, and if it isn't, I'd like to spend at least a day down there.

[piney]

It is about 150 miles from NYC to Wildwood - the only thing further south in South Jersey than Wildwood is Cape May, it is way down at the point of the state.

It's been years since I've made the trip to Wildwood as my cousin has a sweet place on the ocean down in LBI and my folks live on the Mullica River out in the woods.

If you've been to South Street or the Itallian market in Philly, that is what I remember of Wildwood. Lots of undisciplined kids screaming, eating food, lots of folks with tatoos and old men with shorts on and over-the-calf dark socks and black shoes. It is quite a mix I'd say. If anything, it is a great place to people watch!

Campus always had the best pie on the boardwalk. Enjoy.

Thanks UNKLE BIK. Actually we are allowing the better part of two days to tour it and might go back for a third if I can get reservations on one of the tours of the restoration shops. We are members of the Friends of the AF Museum and try to get back there every time a major expansion is completed. The only other comparable aviation exhibit in the United States is the multi-sited Air and Space Museum run by the Smithsonian. For me spending a day there and then driving down to Cincinnati to catch a Reds game in their new stadium that night will be as close to heaven as I am ever going to get ;)

#1 is easy. Every time I leave town it's at least 1,000 miles round trip.

#2 is not so easy. It is a very rare thing for me to have any passengers.

#3 is almost impossible. I normally take trips to either visit family, or go places where I can hike or take pictures. I'm just not the partying type.

#4 is impossible. Since I don't speed, I never have the need for, or ever wish that I had a radar detector. Sometimes I HAVE wanted one just to play with.

Thanks a lot Piney, I appreciate it! Seaside Heights is kind of like that, except also with a TON of teenagers there because that's where MTV's TRL was last year (I don't know if it's there again, God I hope not). Wildwood sounds more like a stay-over trip, I hope I'll be able to do that this year. If you're around Seaside Heights/Toms River and you're looking for someplace to eat, go to the Country Buffet on 37, it is pretty cheap, the food is great and you can eat all you want. Anyways, thanks again!!!

How about a review of the Metallica concert when you get back?

Have fun on Yonge street and grab a beer @ the El Mocombo (if it's still there).

[bibliotech]

It's coming back from Toronto right now.

Ate sushi with my cousin & her boyfriend in Iowa City. Hey it's Iowa City & that qualifies as a party out there!
4. Make you wish you had a radar detector
Have personally owned 5 of them since 1986. Don't drive without it!

[Mishdave2003]

Yes, going to Iowa this weekend for a family member's graduation party .. a bit nervous now though, with the notice of potential recall on our car :o:

[SilverNickelQC]

YES! next week i am going on vacation for my birthday and i plan on going to every amusement park on the east coast or at least a couple in my area

[XtremeGrandAm]

Well I dont own a saturn but yes I am planning a road trip probably to florida but I dont really know yet

[silverplum]

Last year I hit a pot hole on the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia. The end result was $1,260. damage to my new car. Both 16 inch chrome clad alloy wheels on the passenger side had to be replaced, plus a front end alignment and taxes.

Watch out for bad roads in Nova Scotia.

In the summer of 2001, our right rear Affinity exploded about 60 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie.

I'm staying home this year.:o:

I am going to go to St. Louis (300 miles each way), Cedar Rapids, IA (230 miles), Ludington, MI (280 miles), and Milwaukee (95 miles). I'm sure I'll throw in a trip to Covington and Evansville, IN (150 miles to Covington, and then another 150 to Evansville). Some of these trips may have two or more people, others will be just me. And likewise, some will have partying at the end and others will just be visiting grandparents and relatives. On some of these trips we will go in my friend's car. Others will most likely be in the S-10. Some of my friends will have a fuzz buster, and when I drive I will have a CB (they eyes in front of and behind you) But now I'm getting away from the original question,

Are You Planning a Roadtrip this Summer with Your Saturn?

So since none of the trips will be 1000 miles round trip, some of these I will be traveling by myself, some will not include partying at the destination, some a will not have a radar dector in use, and none of them will likely be in my Saturn I change my original statement. No, I will not be going on any road trips this summer in my Saturn. Charlie, please change my vote!;)

[Mike_SW2K]

My crew (me the wife and son) are heading up to Buffalo next week for a family reunion, lots of BBQ and the weather finally looks like it's going to be nice (have had too much rain over the last month). Taking the SW2 in on Monday for an oil change and making up some road CD's:D Leaving on Wed for a week. Other than that short road trips to the Jersey shore for the rest of summer. All in all not too bad. Normally we head off to Florida but money is tight. Here’s hoping all of you have great summer:cool:

[YELO_SC2]

John8,

You'll have a blast at the Reds' new park...a big step up from Cinergy/Riverfront if you ever saw a game there. Just make sure you don't sit in the upper half of sections 142-144 in right field next to the smokestacks; they'll block your view of part of centerfield and all of the scoreboard.

I hope to go on a couple trips this summer, hopefully to check out the new ballparks in Pittsburgh and Detroit. Anyone have any tips for good tickets and/or cool stuff to do in these cities? When in Pittsburgh, I want to go to Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater, which is supposedly about an hour southeast of the city.

[John10]

YELO_SC2- My tickets in Cincinnati are in Section 112. I am very happy with them. I ordered them from the Reds by phone without any problem.
As far as my experience in Pittsburgh I had no trouble getting great seats from the Pirates just using the standard 1-800 phone number. For one game we got nice lower level seats at around $25 per ticket and on another night we splurged to buy seats in the Pittsburgh Baseball Club section at $55 a ticket. My wife's birthday occurs on this roadtrip so the club seats are part of her present.
Yeah I've seen the old Riverfront Stadium and it reminded me of the Vet in Philly. One is gone and the other dies at the end of this season. It seems funny to an older guy like me that these stadiums are being replaced. When the Vet, Riverfront and Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh were opened around 1970 they were considered modern wonders but unfortunately they aged with the grace of a concrete garbage receptical. That said though, they can't destroy the memories of these places in my mind.

This link will help you with Fallingwater. I've been there several times. It's beautiful. FLW - Fallingwater (http://www.wpconline.org/fallingwater_main.htm)

As fars as PNC Park (http://www.pittsburghpirates.com) , it's a fabulous park. Last fall, the wife and I moved to a house just 4-5 miles north of PNC Park and Heinz Field. We've been to four games there so far. Our personal record this season is 3-2. We were able to see a Pirate game at Wrigley for Memorial Day. That was awesome. Pittsburgh won 10-0 that day.

If you make it out here, you'll have to email or PM me, I'll take a digital pic of our yellow SC2's for the board! :yes:

Panama City is AWESOME. Much better on the gulf side of Fla. than the Atlantic. Plus they have Tyndall Air Force Base nearby. Lots of fighter jets going in and out doing live fire training. :D

[trunx]

Hi,
I kind of felt the need to clarify my vote, even though it's been a few days since anyone's written anything. That, and I'm not really doing anything else at the moment. I put yes, but the only trip I actually have planned is the 2500km trek from Chatham, Ontario, back home to Wolfville, Nova Scotia, at the end of the summer. Thankfully, she has enough cargo space to fit all my stuff with room to spare, even more than my 1990 Grand Prix did. By the way, 'she' refers to my 2003 ION3 sedan, Rogue.

[Spazie]

While Ohio may not be the greatest place to live, (and what place is) you seem to have a firm grip on reality.
Don't you just love it when people stereotype just about anything & think they are an expert in just about everything?

I'm far from an expert, but I've been to Ohio. The best part was the bridge back to Kentucky.

Stereotyping is fun as long as it is just for fun. Heck, I'm from South Jersey and if I had a dime for every moron who asked "What exit?", I'd be rich. Little to these geographically challenged individuals know, but you don't get on the NJ Turnpike to get to the woods where I'm from.

So then what exit on the Garden State? Sorry, I really couldn't resist! :D I have relatives in Vernona and Randolph, and to get to where they live, you don't just get off the Turnpike and turn left or right. That does sound aggrevating, Piney, especially because New Jersey is so much more than just the Turnpike. I've never been to Ohio, though, so I can't say anything about that. However, it really aggrevates me that because I live in New York, I am automatically assumed to be either a criminal or an "urban hipster." Believe me, I am not in any way, shape, or form either one of those, and neither is anybody I know. :dizzy:

Maybe I should take you to some of the roads around Carrollton, Lisbon, Steubenville, or E. Liverpool and see if you think its a boring place to drive! Or what about some bar-hopping in Cleveland, or a trip to Put-in-Bay or a day at Cedar Point? Ohio is not the world's most exciting place, thats for sure. But there's plenty of fun if you know where to look for it.

Apparently you didn't stop long enough to meet any of the people. While the geography & climate may not be to your liking, try looking at the big picture. Many of your fellow members of this forum are from Ohio. (OhioVueBoy, Mydnight Myst, Rossao, SW2 Muck, Bennett9000, csdiabiase, zboregerd, fly on by, to name a few). People are a state or region’s most important asset. Like Andrew said, Ohio may not be the most exciting place, (we don’t have Epcot Center, Disneyworld, Daytona Beach, etc.), but Ohio is made up of it’s PEOPLE. To make statements like you have, you are basically insulting your fellow members. I have been to Florida (not Jersey, yet) & I have found many things to my liking, & disliking. Fortunately, those distasteful things about Florida I’ll keep to myself.
EVERYPLACE has its good & bad points. Stereotyping people for fun? Some of us didn't take it that way. If you don’t have something nice to say about someplace or somebody, KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! I'll get off my soapbox, now. Nuff said.

Perhaps you are still reeling from the thrashing the Buckeyes gave the Hurricanes…

Actually I have a few friends in the same field of work who work for the great state of Ohio, Columbus, Hamilton County and so on - they are great guys, if a bit hooked on cornbread. I just like to poke fun, sort of playing with the stereotypes and stuff.

There are two Floridas, one is largely a redneck pit full of trailers and auto repair facilities and the other is a tourist trap mecca. I don't really care for either but I want my pension. They pay me pretty decent and my house went up 13% last year, so I'll stay till I can get the heck out of here and retire to Kentucky. (Where I love to poke fun at the inbreeding that is so common there...)

Can't we just have a little fun poking fun? All work and no play makes for a good Lutheran but not for one that is fun to be around. I'd never intentionally insult someone - it is just playing around. Perhaps decaf would help a bit?

Perhaps you are still reeling from the thrashing the Buckeyes gave the Hurricanes…

Outside of the Superbowl, I've spent a total of about 8 hours in the past 5 years watching sports - that said, if you grew up eating corn and working on a farm all day, you'd be good at football too :D

[robert_vue]

I'm on that roadtrip now! Drove from San Diego, CA to Albuquerque, NM. Nice drive. Also plan to maybe go camping later to June Lake -- with a couple of forum users.

Piney, I have to tell you, I was watching "Food 911" on the Food Network last night, and the cook guy on the show, Tyler Florence, was going some place in New Jersey. The opening of the show started in Manhattan, and the guy got into a cab and said "Going to Jersey, Boss." Then the cabbie said, "oh, OK, what exit?" *Just for the heck of it, he said "ha, ha, funny.

Unfortunately we are trying to stay within our alotted lease miles, so no road trips. Maybe when we buy our next car we will be road tripping!

Always a party going on down there.

Have to get there as fast as possible this time. May drive straight through (about 22 hours). Should be a good test for our LW200. This will be it's first trip over 1 and 1/2 hours.

Two weeks of seafood :fish: :fish:

I just found out they make North America's only single malt Scotch there. Will have to try that :dazed:

Watch out for pot holes around the Margarite Valley area. (I am not sure of the spelling) I had $1,260. damage caused to my car last year. All I can tell you is that we were in front of a house with number 58 on the address.

BE CAREFUL!:x

If you hit any potholes, make sure you take pictures and know exactly where it happened. A lot of people have complained about road conditions in Nova Scotia.:o:

The Nova Scotia government refused to compensate me.

Going to Spring Hill this weekend!

Was planning a drive to St. Louis for a family reunion starting July 1 but I'm not sure it'll happen now because of the dork that wrecked the back end of our car.

If the trunk is still good, we'll still go. I'm not even going to TOUCH that trunk until it is at Saturn of Findlay to have them help me get it closed again if it misbehaved.

I'm going to New York in my 1995 SC2 with 162,400 Miles! I've been there twice already with this Car! Zero Problems! Heck even Hurricane Isabel last year couldn't stop my Saturn from getting to New York! :yes:
