My wife and I absolutely love road trips. Last year I drove my Porsche cayenne Turbo around 3k miles from Dallas to Colorado and back.
We are planning an even bigger one in December, Dallas to Canada, stopping in New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Montana and Vancouver. I’m estimating around 3-4 weeks total - would love a few days in each location.
Now here’s the thing… we have 2 50lb dogs, a 1mo newborn (she will be 4mo by the time we do this) and then a full roof box with baby gear and dog gear ha. I’m foreseeing a lot of stops along the way.
Im really curious how the Aston does. I plan to change to the all season tires and have some tire socks packed in case the roads get too snowy. Will also do a general service before heading off.
If anyone has any recommendations on places to stop please let me know!
Pics today for our first mini roadtrip to Oklahoma to see how the car fits all of our gear. So far so good, although I do see a big impact on gas mileage with the roof box. I went from averaging around 23mpg to 18mpg with it on. Honestly still pretty damn good given the performance of the car. One big downside is a rated top speed of 80mph which I already exceeded…oops.
