Going to be taking my ‘66 on a road trip tomorrow. Going from my house in Stockton, CA down to Arvin, CA to pick up my brother in law then turning right back around and coming home. I’ll be sure to take some pictures and update this thread along the way. About 261 miles each way. Should be a fun adventure _________________ 2015 VW Passat Wolfsburg Edition

Didn’t need it. 541 miles in one day and not a single flat tire.

I’m not surprised nor amazed.
The car performed as expected.

That got turned in to a coloring book a while back by my 6 year old when we take long trips. Can’t even read half the pages now.
