well drving home was interesting to say the least last night. But i made but my poor dad didnt, he had to sleep at the office last night and is now back on the road trying to get home. He has closed the office for the day so that is nice that i dont have to get back on the road with these nuts down here.

I drove to an ex-coworkers lake house on Pecan Island two years ago. After driving on I-10 in LA I needed an alignment. Roads in LA do suck.

unfortunately for some reason I didn't get the mpg I was expecting. It was that drive last year that got me 33.5 mpg, but this year it was only 30 mpg. I did drive a little faster than last time, but no faster than 75 (for the most part).

The drive is boring though, almost fell asleep on the way back.

Man, I have never gotten better than 30 mpg, what do I have to do to get this?? Drive 65 mph?? Nope, can't do it...

I hear you Leo, this car is too much fun to stay at 70 mph. If I see a guy pass me, I just have to drop it down to SS 4th. I'm not lucky enough to drop it to 4th, 5th and 6th like you!!

Yea unfortunately for you it is McDavid in Plano, but man if you gotta do stuff under warranty and want no worries its worth the drive IMO. Well I guess depends on what exactly you're getting done.
