E,
Congrats to you & M on your new red pocket rocket!

I hear you on the ~10 days to come across the country;
too much to see and miles of great roads.

My only exp with a 318 was a rental in Europa, circa 1986ish,
for a week or so.
But me and my right hand mgr could barely fit our full sized
big Yankee butts and shoulders and luggage in the car. We
tossed it for a TBird...what did we morons know then?!
Good Luck to you & M on your new ride!
