Nice work, Tony. After the Dragon I drove south again to swim wit' da' fishes in The Lost Sea, then all over Tennessee trying to find Virginia. Then I did most of the Blue Ridge Parkway - hit 125,000 miles while pulling a hill - nothing as drastic as the Dragon, but it was nice to actually SEE the mountains & trees, rather than as a blur of asphalt & leaves. I had the road mostly to myself, with almost no traffic. Just Monday, I guess.
No SVX maladies arose in over 1000 miles of "very" varied driving conditions. I also got over 28 mpg over one 400 mile stretch.
Treat her nice & she'll "keep you".
Ron (kept man).
