Hello,

I'm looking in to doing a coast to coast road trip across America, maybe in summer.

Has anyone done one of these or have any experience?

I'm just at early stages of looking, and wondering if it is better to simply hire the car (ideally a Mustang or Corvette) or go through a road trip tour company?

Having had a quick look this eve Route 66 does seem to be a good choice - fly to Chicago and then road trip to LA via Las Vegas.

Where did you hire the car from? At the moment I reckon it would be sensible to hire something normal from Chicago to Las Vegas, then get something more exciting there for the last bit of the trip.

How long did it take you? I'm thinking of doing it over a month, finances depending!
