First Road Trip!

I completed my first road trip yesterday to White Sands National Park in New Mexico. There is a stretch of road through White Sands Missile Range where one is able to test the limits of his/her particular car. I had the cruise control set at a nice leisurely 90mph, Bob Marley on the stereo and the temp was around 85F with no humidity. More importantly I passed the 2000mi mark and my engine is officially broken in. I have pampered it and hope it pays off for me.

It was a great day! Not one state trooper in sight, the Box sipping 28.5 mpg at 90mph (yeah, I didn't believe it either. I actually worked it out on the calculator to back up the computer) and my beautiful wife telling me to slow down or calling out every white car that looked like the five-o. God Bless that woman. I will post pics as soon as I figure out how to make the files smaller. I got the error message trying to post them. Cheers!
