ZHPizza's red car

[Sockethead]

My diff has polished ring and pinion... not sure if that would make a difference with gear whine...

Put myself and the whip to the test yesterday on a mission to retrieve all of the interior bits I need to erase the damage from 12 years in the Florida sun.

The route:



The stats:

6am start time: the sun was tryna catchup but red car 2fast4u


Like a billion mountains:


Three tunnels:






One dragon:


Two cheese sticks on a makeshift cooler via half-installed headunit:


One really weird section of Kentucky:


Four states EACH WITH THEIR OWN DISTINCT POSITIVE ATTRIBUTES*







^{*lol nah kentucky is trash}

And one very red car:


Back home at 10pm: 16 hours and 957 miles later


I was pleasantly surprised with the final MPG number after spending the trip running balls out at 80+mph, ~30 minutes in crawling traffic, and stopping 10+ times to refuel the car, refuel the man, load up the parts, and drain some fluids (followed by redlining 1>2>3 at every on-ramp, of course). Confirms that my new CAI is straight kicking butts. More to come on that bad boy.

Impressive and entertaining as always.

Tbh I thought Kentucky was a pretty state. But I was on backroads the whole time.

awesome trip - that must've been great! but.... sad to see no pics of the red car trying to be a Touring. where's the All Loaded Up pics?

(and why didn't you take the Touring? )

Stop at the Biltmore Estate in Ashville next time.....

I 40 over the mountains is always a fun drive.

How did you fit all that stuff in the red car? Did you strip the interior before hand and sit on a stack of old newspapers for the first 7 hours??

C’mon Yelkos, no one gets the paper anymore...well, at least not the Charlotte Observer. He sat on magazines.
