kdixey Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 My wife, 5 year old son and I took "Brownie" our 86 wagon with 215K on it (and leaks oil) for a little vacation trip from Bellingham over Highway 20 to Lake Chelan, out to the Grand Coulee Damn and back over Highway 2 back home. It was hot and the countryside was beautiful. I packed a few extra pints of oil and we headed out. Despite struggling to get over the passes at anything over 55 mph we managed to get over and back without too much drama and when I filled up and did the math we were getting almost 31 mpg. Pretty cool for a car that cost all of $750. God I love that car. It may be slow and fugly but you gotta admire the way it just keeps going. I feel like I could drive it to the moon if I had to.

robm Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 The moon is only abut 239,000 miles away on average. You have about 24000 miles to go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
