As a former serviceman myself, I can attest that all facts of good stories are likely to be questionable, but only if the story starts with the words, “now this ain’t no sh#$...” 
Of course, things could be different for officers...

Rail, how's the exhaust upgrade working out for you? Any difference in sound?

Gents,
1. Never believe a pilot! If the stories start out as "There I was, inverted, with my air medals hanging in my face..." it is probably BS. On that note, yes, it is true that I covered the distance in that amount of time. I subtracted the refuel time and believe it or not fellas I did average over 110. I had the cruise set at 120 (i bumped 132 in the really deserted spots) outside of town. I love these desert roads. Jeph, no problem on the BS flag, I couldn't believe it either, but 0700 in the morning on a Saturday means no highway patrol.
2. I didn't exactly upgrade the exhaust. I had them change the exhaust tip to the same one as a 05 S. I liked the double barrel exhaust and I swear it sounds different, but I think it is just because I haven't had the pleasure of driving her lately.
3. Thanks for the support and I definately recommend Scotsdale Auto in Phoenix. She looks better than new.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention about all stories starting with "there I was..." Geez I have been out of the Army too long.
Glad you are back enjoying the car again!

Jeph, are we talkin' the high filooten type of water like Fiji or Evian? At what point do I cash in the bottle caps for a golden ticket?
Eslai, sorry about your boner dude. ED is a very serious condition that can lead to blueballitis...very dangerous.
Woohooo....I got my car back!

You, Rail26, are truly a legend in my book. You have earned 5 golden water bottle caps!
