A former fleet or police 06-11 Impala.

 

Tons of available parts and crazy easy and cheap to maintain and repair.

 

I had a 2011 3.5L V6 not the 3.9L former fleet as my road trip only car lasted until 210k before the transmission took a poop on me.

Thanks, guys. I'm good until Thanksgiving when I get down there to see how the car runs.

 

FWIW, car covers don't do much from my experience if the paint isn't the best to start with (early '00s GM :rolleyes:). I keep a cover on it and was amazed at how bad it still got. I think what the cover may have done for blocking UV doesn't cover the salt-spray or intense heat. The key is to have a garage or carport to protect the car from direct sunlight contact.
