Woke up on the first morning to see what Fusion looks like by day. Waited for the rest of our crew (and second classic car) to arrive and planted our flag. Somehow it was a short day and a long night. We never got a great sunrise but the view of...

It will take more than one post to tell this story. Let's begin where all road trips begin. We got the car, filled it with people, drove the back roads through Eastern Germany, got in line and waited. Fusion has a policy to let in anybody who sho...
