First officers log: Star date 3 ten point 23.
We're embarking on an adventure (before day light) tomorrow morning to acquire a Marquis of Grand proportions. As is the tradition, this log is being generated before the actual purchase (sight un-seen).
Mom's original ad (with pics here)
Here's the last known pic of the suspect:
Woo Hoo! A Grand adventure! Have fun!
The Akira is intended to be Indy-kid2's first car. He had one request: not a Prius. So..... this is indeed, not a Prius. It'll be a dual Father and Son Drive and Drive from Indy to Atlanta and back: same day, bonsai run style. Stay tuned.
Provisions for the journey have been acquired:
So a Panther walks into Aldi....
I love this thread so much.
Well we all know now they won't get mugged. :0D
here are the wrong and the right rattle can ford burgundy paint codes
You two have enough snacks to drive to Georgia in Europe and back, Brian!
Hello just sold my 06 MGM GS to Car max for 1000 bucks 177k on it. Feel free to ping me for advice owned it for 10 years. Many GS came with CC delete even though there's still steering wheel buttons for it. Cheapo Ford!
Aldis chips suck. Those fake Cheez-it's suck. Those fake Pringle chips suck too. Those protein bars are pretty good.
I shop at Aldis almost weekly and I feel like a lot of their off brands kinda suck but I'm saving money.
When you're part Bohemian saving money is more important than being happy in life.
LOL
Almost ready to disembark

There's four of us going
Two of which are teenage boys
I like the group photo.
Is this the "before" photo? You know, the one with the enthusiastic, happy faces?
Which route did you choose?
West = Louisville, Nashville (I-65)
or
East = Cincinnati, Knoxville (I-75)
If Google is to be believed, it says the East route is 21 more miles but is only 2 minutes slower? That doesn't seem likely. Could it be that the posted speed limits are faster on the East Route? That also seems unlikely since the routes generally go through the same states
Breakfast stop
In reply to John Welsh :
Louisville and Nashville
About 30 minutes into the state of Georgia, on I-75 and about 20 minutes before you get off I-75, there is a new Buc-ees. If you have not...you should.
Wow this is fantastic! I love the GM moving from one GRM family member to another, and a father/son roadtrip to get the car is even better! All the best on a safe and easy journey!
Bathroom break & I splashed in some fuel while we were stopped.
Plus, driver change.
My Mom is happy. 
Excellent way to inaugurate the Marquis.
Teenage boys playing video games:
Passing through Nashville
Taking over navigation for a bit:
Youre more than half way already! ( or just a quarter of the entire trip, ha )
Making good time.
Trees are in bloom and beautiful:
Passed a load of Vettes
Briefly dipped into GA enroute to Chattanooga
