3,500 mile road trip and met a fabo member
Had a mishap 40 miles outside of Jackson Miss on tuesday evening on my way home though. I hit a tire tread carcass at 65 mph. Had nowhere to go. No shoulder, and another car in the left lane next to me. The good news is, only a small scuff in the black front spoiler, the lower bumper cover plastic bracket underneath was broken off, and left the screws behind threaded into the flange on the underside of the bumper cover, and the u shaped lower frame flanges on the radiator were bent back at 45°. No water leaks. Car tracks straight. Gonna bend the flanges straight when I change the oil and filter this week. Buy a new plastic bracket, and profusely thank God it didn't screw up the paint.
To date now the car has about 12,700 miles on it. Changed the oil and filter at 9,200 right before the trip. I got an average of 27.2 MPG throughout the trip running between 65, 70, 75 mph. 75 mpg in 5th its turning 2,200 rpm. Perfect sweet spot. Car has 3.55s and a traction lok diff.
