Well, maybe not today exactly . . .

Spent the weekend autocrossing, new course was cake this time, knocked 10 seconds off my time.

Unfortunately, so did everyone else.

Then listened to another woman (first timer) bragging that she finally got it near 1 minute, but the winning time for the day was 64 seconds. . . ? She thought 105 meant 1 minute, 5 seconds. Didn't have the heart to tell her . . .

Drove to Cinci Ohio - tested out new trip monitor

drove from SC to Cinci Ohio for a family gathering !. 1500 miles,
even thru the mountains, averaged 28.6mpg, but had one stretch(250 miles of 30 mpg) - averaged 70 mph( -usually set the cruise at 77.

bought a Foxwell trip monitor, from Maxspeed, - originally got it to use for checking codes and clearing the CEL, and to monitor the O2 sensors etc to see wha the heck is going on- found out if you leave it hooked up, it constantly records all engine data - reads out average speed, max speed, etc - pretty cool.

- drove thru LOTS of rain on the way back thru Kentucky , Tenn and NC

but the car performed flawlessly, - the new front tires were awesome in the rain!:dance:

The new hard top makes the trip much more quiet vs rag top - really a quiet ride at 75 with a hard top on - but 75 today here in SC so the hard top will be coming off soon!!!!
