Was that a factory option - two sunroof panels? I kind of doubt it but it's a neat idea.

I would say no.

You're preaching to the choir. I definitely get it, I don't do gravel, period. I've had a 250 foot concrete driveway. That nothing compared to your situation, but I get it.

I don't do gravel roads anymore. I have not been on one for about 10 years, now. The last time I drove one, I had my 2005 Magnum R/T for sale, and I was taking a 2 mile gravel road shortcut back to my place. I met an oncoming truck that must have been going about 300 mph., and it flung a meteorite into my windshield. I had to pay to have the windshield replaced before I could sell the car. I vowed that was my last gravel road!

I'll see your Road Runner, and raise you one Road Runner!

Yep after 32 years we've had enough of it. Paving is lined up for June/July. No cars for a couple years after 26,000 square feet of pavement go down. Hopefully most can just be fine graded and paved, as that's only $2 a square foot. It's excavation and fill that is another $6/sq. ft ! If that is determined to be more than a small portion of it, it'll be mud 'till I die. I'm not blowing $200K on pavement. Based on where I know it'll need dug, and a second layer for three pointing fuel trucks I'm hoping we come in below 80 grand.

Ouch. Yes, I would obviously want pavement too, but that is a tough pill to swallow. I hope very little needs excavation and fill!

We have been at our house for just over 3 years. I'm done with the gravel/dirt. Paving it end of May/early June. Going asphalt. My wife and daughter are bucking me all the away. They say it won't be "aesthetically pleasing". They are driving me bonkers.

I have less than you. Paving around 10k sq feet.

When we bought our house in 1976, it had an asphalt driveway with what looked like a dusting of cement. Looks a little grey. It has stood the test of time quite well.
Might possibly be worthwhile to look into it for brownie points.

run a PEX plumbing loop under the new pavement, terminate the ends in your garage near a power source. For future hot-antifreeze circulation.

Trust me.

I should have done that 15 years ago when I paved my 1/4 mile driveway.....

Hadrian's Wall facing east towards Crag Lough (the lake in the picture). The rocky outcrop is the Whin Sill, of volcanic origin.

The latest issue of MUSCLE CARS has a couple of nice articles on both a 1975 road runner, and a 1971 6-BBL road runner, which also is the centerfold. Also lots of Javelin info, including the Trans Am racing series.

It's a Canadian magazine, so it might not show up in every news stand.
