I'm from the great lakes area, just south of canada. I think Michigan is a decent place besides flint and detroit. I have a family of honda civics. They are very reliable.
I drove up to Traverse city once. I have a vw old style beetle. It still has the vase holder. I am partial to vws.
I am thinking of going to Wisconsin for a road trip in the Honda Civic. That should be a pretty short drive for you. It will be a nice little road trip. Hondas are great cars for road trips since they're so reliable. Yes but unfortunately they aren't very comfortable. That's why I'm mostly taking backroads so that I can have fun in the corners. I like the old VW bugs too. How did your trip to Traverse City go? Traverse City was cool. I visited a few cool wineries, walked on the dunes at the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore park, and checked out Lake Michigan. Have you thought about turning the VW into a sand buggy? That's one of my dream garage projects. No, I haven't, but I'm interested in learning more about it. What type of modifications would I need to do? Most of the project would be changing the suspension. Aside from that would be with the wheels, safety items like seat belts. I personally would gut the interior so it would be lighter but you could easily leave that alone if you want to keep it original. I think I'd have a mechanic do the suspension, but I could handle the wheels and seat belts probably. I'll have to look at some modified VW Beetle sand buggies online. Yeah that's a great idea! I've been an automotive and aircraft mechanic for years so I would be more than happy to help. I'm sure I could offer some guidance with parts brands and whatnot. Also I would love to see some pictures of the car! If I'm going forward with the project, I'll definitely consult with you and maybe order your professional services. Are you thinking of trading in one of your Civics for a newer model?
