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? ;))
Wow, that's a heckuva parts run. :)
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.Quote:
