today, chicago and back in the rescue wagon.

[bheinen74]

Today i drove the rescue wagon to Chicago and back, 600 miles roundtrip. LEft my house at 7:30 AM, got back about 9:45PM. Picked up my 3 SVX wheels that i ebay bought for 9.99, had some GIARDANOS famous stuffed crust pizza, wathched some of the cubs game on TV at the pizza place, stopped at IKEA, and Frys Electronics (looked for a cb and antenna, think that must be old technology, they had nothing of the sort that i could find).

 

got 28.9mpg there, and about 25.5 mpg on the way back, head wind alittle, and extra weight etc.

 

No problems, but about 8 miles from home on the way back a big rock/clod of dirt (about the size of a softball) fell off a pickup in front of me on interstate causing a loud THUD front of car. I inspected after getting home, and I think it cracked my grill right in the center abouve the Subaru badge.

 

tired, long day. Rescue wagon is getting some good use.

Lol of all the nice cars you have to choose to take on a 600 mile trip you pick the old wagon. Your a sick sick man.

+1 -- the big truck stops on I80 and such have a whole shelf of CB's and antennas and such usually.
