...just a short note, took a road trip on Friday up to Minneapolis and back on Sunday. Each way 450 miles, gas mileage was great, lots of challenges on the road from other [bigger] cars. Mazda Millenium, Camry, various SUVs, LS, etc. Top speed was 128 mph (in N. Missouri) and sustained speeds of 85-90 most of the way. Lots of cops, about a dozen, thanks V1 (it's tops). Iowa still uses X-band radar. Most were not even instant-on.

Quite a bit of snow in Iowa, the CL handles well, was able to still go 70/75 no problem. VSA did well on ice in Twin Cities, my first real winter test.

Now I know again why it is such a pleasure to own this magnificent car!

You're a brave man to go that fast on I-35 in Missiouri. I've had quite a few friends of mine who have received tickets along that stretch. Glad to hear you had a good time.
