What a great old car ... highway run hint.

Straight thru drive from Whitefish to Baltimore, 63 hours door to door, stops only for fuel, food and naps in the rest areas. All in a 16 year old 'Roo with well over 200,000 miles on the clock. Steady 75mph and nary a burp on the entire run. This is a car I bought 130,000 miles used for $2,600 over four years ago, and am still on the same clutch and brakes ... ditto for the geriatric senior citizen driver (woulda like a cruise control tho').

 

I'll hate to sell Klack, the 'Jap Tractor' when we go back to Hawaii.

 

HINT: If you don't already know about them - go to the library before you take a long trip and stock up on audio book CDs or tapes. You can mail them back book rate, which is really cheap; and the return time is the post mark, not when the stuff gets back to the library. A great help when you are in the middle of the country and can find only the fundamentalist Christian clear channel radio stations at 03:00.
