Default Trip to school

Last week I drove up from GA to PA where my college is it was about 660 miles up and it took about 11 hours to do it at the speed limit (55-65). I had the car packed and it was still a great ride up here. I averaged about 24-25 mpg and I sat in traffic for about an hour and a half. I'm very happy with the mpg's and the comfort of the car. The trans temp. peeked at about 219. It did slip a bit on the way but overall it was a good drive.

Believe it or not, the time I liked my car the most was making the drive from LA to SF for school. I think I made it 7 or 8 times, at least twice with my car packed full of my ****. It is a very comfortable road trip car. Full Size FTW!

99 degrees canadian? That's a new one.

You mean 99°C (Celsius).
