Default Road trip pt3

Day three on the road, covering 541 miles..Break-in is now complete!
No oil needed either for the 1,772 logged in the past three days.

The day started out at sunrise, driving straight east into a rising sun, not a visor made that would help..and for the first couple of hours it was a beautiful blue sky day that diminished into just a monochrone dull rainy day that persisted from Oklahoma City onward to tonights stop in Forrest City, Arkansas. Tomorrow a short 300mi stint to Leeds, AL.. they say the weather is suppose to be worse, one thing I'am sure of is that the rain-sensing do work quite nicely.

Fun road trip things: Dodging tumble weeds at 90mph.
The Scan button for the radio....finding interesting regional music..fact is the CD stays off most of the time.
Cross wing gusts are no fun!
Tanked up with BP 93 octaine for $2.25 CA folks be jealous

For your viewing pleasure a dirty Texas foto

Interested to know if you notice a difference in engine pull toward the top revs running 93 octane... now that she's broken in of course.

A dirty photo is better than a clean non-photo anyday!

Keep 'em coming!

Keep the story going. This is better than a movie. Do you notice anything different now that the car is broken in? How is the sport chrono? Can't wait to hear about your DE when you get to Atlanta.

Thanks for the up-date, enjoy the stories and the pictures. Regarding the rain sensors. I agree they work good. The wipers are only going too fast at higher speeds and when it rains hard.
