Yes, 455 is nice up near there. Parts were unpaved a few years back while they were fixing it up. But, last time I was on there it was nice. Smooth. 121 and 902 up near there are OK too...T

What are 100-degree temperatures to a driver with a 997? Inspiration, not perspiration

Gospel, OC! If I kept the 997 under wraps when temps heat up, there'd be a huge chunk of the year sans 997 up here in Dallas.

Filled her up with gas and noticed the price for 93 octane crept up to $3.099. I think it was $2.89 last time I filled up.

Speaking about gas prices, I normally fill up at Kroger. I used a Shell station and discovered I paid a 40 cent difference on price of premium fuel. The gas stations do a good job of advertising their 87 octane and not the premium fuels. I think i will stay with Kroger!

That $5.19 was in King City and about a buck more than usual. But given the really really really really good two day drive we had ... I'm not complaining ... at all 8)

From a couple days a week after that trip ...
