Wait til you spend some time with the top down and with black seats.

I curse Ford for not giving the ragtops a lighter roof and interior color option

My 07 GT Premium ragtop had a nice light colored roof and interior

Yeah, probably going to drive. Destination is Miami, so i95 all the way.
Yulee looks like a decent middle stop.
we seem to have the same car! rapid red GT convertible ?
Why stop in the middle of nowhere? Right by there you have st. Simon's island, St. Augustin, Jacksonville. Loads of gorgeous restaurants, beautiful ocean views, and cheap accommodations. The whole point of a road trip is stopping to smell the roses.

Hi all
Moving to FL and trying to find out if i can travel from VA on the Amtrak Auto Train from Lorton,VA to Sanford,FL
ive been told that the ride on the road is not that safe, so trying for this option.
But on the Amtrak Website, the requirements mentions that the wheel max width cannot exceed 14.5....
Anyone has experience or has tried the train before? Or is the road that unsafe?
Thx
The Auto Train is nice. Last time I used it there was a dining car also. The only stop was in SC to refuel in the middle of the night. The choice is yours, save mileage on the vehicle and relax.
