I wimped out and took the daily driver. It would have been a blast to have it down there since the weather was perfect.
My insurance company provides free towing, so I would have been covered, but it would have really messed up the weekend.
What would you have done with this scenario?
I used to live near Destin and I've driven the beach roads between Pensacola and Panama City, including C30A, many times. It makes for a nice cruise when the weather's good, but the traffic can be so bad you can't really stretch your legs much. My biggest concern in driving from Atlanta to South Walton and back would be the weather. I don't trust weather men to forecast accurately for much longer than it takes me to walk to the window and back, and I would not want to drive my car on wet roads.
