How far would you drive?

How far would you drive for some TL parts? I had 27 hours of bonding time with my TL this weekend.

I just got back from a road trip. I drove from where i live in Oklahoma to New Orleans to get some parts. I also drove to a few more places to pick up other parts and visit a friend. I left Friday night at around 7:45pm and didnt get home till sunday at 8:30pm. I reset the navi when i left, but i forgot about the cluster and reset it 15 minutes later.





I picked up greddy evo 2 exhaust, atlp j pipe, tein coilovers, and fujita cai.

all parts piled in my trunk

Nice little road trip but if it was to only get parts, I would have paid for shipping instead. But you did go see your friends so I guess it's cool.

The MPG you got is amazing and I too would like to know the Navi reading as I too don't have it.

Yes i go to info then trip computer. But it has been there since i bought the car. I have not hacked it yet. I thought it was factory. I had to drive and pick up the parts. They guy wouldnt ship them. I dont mind he was a nice guy and gave me one hell of a deal.

Thats a navi hack for sure..You guys need to spend some time in the electronic section. The TL gets sick Highway mileage...The whole reason for buying the car in the first place. That is a lot of miles for anything. I hope the friends you visted were great ones. I see better gas milage in the future with those mods. Good deal man!!!!!

I am so jelous of that Trip computer hack!!!! I really wish we could do that on the 07-08 models!
I don't really care about all the other background and nag button hacks but I really want the trip computer.

In any case, nice trip! I wouldn't mind driving my TL on a long trip like that but it'd have to be for something other then parts
