First "big" Road Trip
Just got back from driving my ERA 289FIA from Santa Cruz, up through San Francisco and North through Santa Rosa to Ukiah.
Okay, so there isn't much to see in Ukiah---but I have relatives there.
This was a "Daddy-Son" road trip, so I had my seven year-old, fresh out of chemotherapy son with me, and we had a great time. The drive up in the Cobra was uneventful (no need to call AAA...) and the Cobra was smooth all the way up. I threw it into 5th and found a comfortable pace. My Cobra is a very nice driving machine.
While up in Mendocino County, we climbed to the peak of Squaw Rock (this is the monolith you see along the river between Cloverdale and Hopland), swam in Lake Mendocino, and went swimming in the eastern fork of the Russian River (Rushin River, if you ask my son). Good times. 
I was really pleased with my Cobra's performance and reliability. Total mileage was about 300 miles, round trip.
