I drove from Phoenix to Wyoming on a Saturday and back to Phoenix on a different route a few days later.

Seats were almost as comfortable as my Cadillac. I never got out of the car to or from Wyoming except for two gas stops in route each way and a few picture stops. I took mostly twisty back roads and got my money's worth for the PP except for where it was freezing and the roads wet. These Pirelli's aren't so sticky at freezing temps.

Ford uses good paint. The trip back was in severe wind all through Utah and Northern AZ and it was the height of tumbleweed season. There was no way to dodge them all and when heading into the wind had 100 MPH (at least) closure rates. I spent over an hour, much with tweezers, pulling tiny branches out of every seam and gap in the front of the car. But not a single scratch anywhere on the car. I will say that there is no way in hell I'm doing a grill delete without carrying a few spare radiators in the trunk.

On the way to Wyoming:

These are the Vermillion Cliffs between Page and the North Rim. Since the North Rim is closed until May, I had the road to myself. There is a long stretch after the cliffs toward Jacob Lake that is almost all switchbacks as you climb.







I stopped as close as practical to 1000 miles beside one of the switchbacks.

Nice pics. White was about the last color I was interested in, but look really good with those wheels.

Terrific post and excellent pictures. I'll add a couple pictures of my Mustang in Arches National Park.
