|  Short Vacation Drive Just arrived home today after a short run through Oregon,Washington,Idaho,Montana,Wyoming,Utah,Nevad a, and back to CA -- took some pictures and will post them in a few days The car will do 156 MPH @ 4500rpm no hint of limiter it will run away from a Mustang 427 from 80mph to 145 (thats when he quit) even with all this playing it averaged 25.2 miles per for 3500 mile BIG SKY COUNTRY troopers just wave and smile if you pass them doing 120 no wonder they call it ( I-90 ) the autobahn(?) of the north. More later been driving since 7am and I'm going to take a nap

| Welcome home Gene and Jo. That's what you call "short" drive? At 4500rpm, you still have another 2000 more to go before the redline.
