    Supercharger - Osage Beach, MO

    It will be great to have a Supercharger at the Lake. Would have preferred it to be at the I-70 Kingdom City exit but I'll take any Missouri Superchargers we can get. Now will I drive my S from Florida to the Lake for the Summer.

    Paducah is off for 2015

    If I'm driving through Nashville, TN on my way to St Louis it would be out of my way to go through Sikeston, MO. I'd enjoy Lambert's Cafe throwed rolls but not enough to go through Sikeston. We will need a Supercharger at both Paducah, KY and Sikeston, MO.
