Default The wait is over

I-75 on the south side of Toledo turns south where 23 branches off 75.

Yesterday we made a trip to MI to see Deb's parents for Easter. It was 5:05pm guess what I saw headed north on I-75?



The one I saw was orange. It looked pretty nice from the glimpse I got.

I was also counting Impalas on I-75 yesterday cause there seemed to be a ton of them? I know I counted well over 200 Impalas out.

Next was Chrysler 300s, Minis, and Rustangs. Debbie said she was sure she saw over 20 Rustangs the same dark red-ish color Furd used on them.

Space, I only spotted one Monte going north yesterday. It was a silver '00-05 Monte SS between Lima, (sounds like lima beams) and Findlay, OH. SAD!

Coming home I believe we spotted close to 20 Montes. One black one was definately a beautiful car and almost as clean as a Superior Blue '03 Pace car I heard was spotted on I-75 yesterday.

Beautiful woman? Well, I've learned I get less bruises if I pay more attention to the road versus people driving near us. lol

The answer is 10 though.

I wondered since we were only what about 40 miles or less from Detroit maybe someone at GM was test driving the Camaro we spotted yesterday?

The Michigan test vehicles I've seen have the standard blue Michigan plate with the word "Manufacturer" embossed into it.

I wish there would have been a way to get a picture of the car.

By the time I spotted it, it was only a few seconds from traveling under the I-23 ramp off I-75. I-75 at Perrysburg, OH turns east before it turns back north again and then through Toledo.
