Well, I left home this morning at 4am, drove 460 miles down to Albuquerque, traded the 94 for a Mag Red II 2001 coupe and drove home. A total of 930 miles today.
It was a little hard to leave the 94 but, the Mag Red is beautiful and drives like a dream. She has 69K on the clock and isn't perfect, but nothing that I can't fix or live with. New tires are in order, and it has the gas gauge issue (where it gets down to about 1/4 tank she drops to nothing).
I went down by way of Guymon, Oklahoma, through Dalhart,Texas and Tucumcari New Mexico and across on I40. I came home on I25 north to Trinadad, CO and cut catty-wampus across to La Junta on US350 and then back on US50.
Coming back up I25, just going with the flow of traffic (between 80-85mph) this car was getting, this is the average MPG, 28.1. Then once I slowed down coming across US350 and US50 (about 70-71mph) it dropped down to 27.3. This really surprised me, obviously the sweet spot for this car is around 80...too bad I can't drive at that speed all the time.
I must admit, I'm beat, 13 and 1/2 hours on the road today. I did take a couple of pictures.
Here are the two siblings...
And a couple after I got home..
I'm headed for bed.....
