From Ohio to Texas, no problems 200

Hey all!!

Just wanted to post a message and let you know that I made it to Houston without any problems. I made the 1300 mile drive in 20 hours. The only times I stopped were to fill up (and check fluids) and twice more for food and a rest. My trust in my car has been renewed. I think I'll give her a little loving with a new paint job and a few other things.

Gas mileage on the way here was right at 20 mpg. Not as high as I would have hoped, but the mountains of Kentucky and Tennessee kind of put a damper on that, as well as the fact that my car was packed full of my stuff (the rear was sagging about 1.5 - 2 inches from the weight).

Thanks to all who helped me with advice in preparation for the trip!!!
