How often have you thought about calling in sick, packing a duffel, lacing up your sneakers and driving ol' Route 66 from its headwaters
in Chicago to the great California sea? What're ya waitin' for? There's no better way to suck in a great big gulp of America than by hitting the old, open road (celebrating an anniversary Nov. 26), especially if you can get your hands on America's favorite sports car. The Vette and Route 66 are married in history and lore, and to this day belong together like bugs on a windshield. You'll find great open stretches, with little traffic and less enforcement, enticing you to open 'er up and really experience the car's 385/385, the roar of a great American V8 cranking away under that gloriously long, fabled hood.
