    Smile its been awhile... but i got a story!

    hey guys... been pretty busy lately, so i havent been on as much...
    i check in once a week or so, but havent posted in here for a while.

    hope everyone is doing well...

    i had some fun recently and wanted to share the experience...
    this past weekend the fiance and I put 900 miles on the car
    we(I) drove from dallas to houston to galveston to freeportand back.(these were all in texas)
    first time i've driven the car out of town... needless to say it was a blast

    some #'s
    ~250 miles
    on the way there:
    avg mpg 21.7 (according to OBC)
    speeds were between 75-90 occasionally more(didnt reset obc)

    on the way back:
    avg mpg 24.7 (according to OBC)
    avg speed was 72(according to OBC)

    some pics and a video of the trip below...






    make sure to watch the high quality (youtube)version...the original was recorded in 1080 and the beach looks crazy real
