In a word "loving it"

640 miles to Vegas from Sun Valley. NO PROBLEMS. runs like a champ! NO SMOKE, NO COOLANT LOSS, little oil loss, nbd. Long stretches averaging 95mph+, and drove like a dream! there is NO traffic on these roads. Only complaint is slight wind noise at high speeds only on driver's side. Going to follow 61porsche advice when I get home. I have sun roof open whenever I can, so no big deal.

Still idling slightly high, 1400rpm

My poodle Margaux and I took impromptu road trip to stay at Loewe lake las Vegas. Not sure where going next. Ideas? I have to back in Sun Valley on Monday. Thinking of heading west then up California coast. Ideas for great roads between here and home by Monday?

Return trip

Drive up the coast to Burlington WA and then head east on HWY 20 through the Cascades to Sandpoint ID. Wonderful twisty, freshly paved secondary road through numerous low passes in National Forests. Very little traffic. Lots of bugs.
