just got back from another 1900 mile drive
NJ to FLA and back, 6 days (4 driving)
A little concerned about hwy 95 being closed due to flooding in SC.
I camped in SC to break up the drive
Came back yesterday, 600+ miles. Took me 10 hours. Hit that crappy Washington DC traffic.
Car ran without issues. Had to top off about a cup of coolant but that's it.

Need to do an oil change and let her rest for awhile

Washed it in the rain. Folks may think I'm nuts but anything stuck to the finish comes off much more easily after soaking in the rain and it is mainly self rinsing. The only down side is water spots after it dries as I don't have a garage to pull into to dry it (too poor). I've also waxed it while it is wet and that also works pretty darned well. It cost me a wet ball cap, t-shirt and shorts.

Pulled it out of the garage, drove it around the neighborhood a bit, did a bunch of yardwork (tiny garage = gotta pull the car out to get to things), pulled it back in the garage. Exciting day for the 986, I tell ya.

I also ordered a new Gummi-Pfledge stick, a CTEK maintainer with cigarette lighter adapter, some desiccant packs, wheel chocks, and Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer in preparation for it's upcoming long sleep...
