made it home last night. just finished washing the car.

other than replacing the ignition switch and water pump (both of which i should have done before leaving), the only other thing that happened with the car was the driver's side door pocket cover lost it's spring. now it's all flappy and won't stay up.

while i was washing it i noticed a new rock chip right over the passenger side headlight. at one point i was stuck behind a truck hauling road stuff and it hit a bump - saw little rocks fly up and bounce all over the hood. i'm surprised there were not more chips.

also, looks like a red car was parked next to me at one point because on the passenger door there's a small red smudge that i first thought was bug blood but turns out to be a little paint.

i'm sunburned on my arms because yesterday was a top-down day. almost 6 hours of sun.

3550 miles round trip, 153 gallons of gas, passed through 11 separate states (Maryland -> Pennsylvania -> Ohio -> Indiana -> Illinois -> Iowa -> Nebraska -> Colorado -> Kansas -> Missouri -> Illinois -> Indiana -> Ohio -> West Virginia -> Pennsylvania -> Maryland)

i hear boxstoberfest is in a couple of weeks... 3200 miles round trip. :dance:

more pictures soon.
