Back from AutoFest
Bad news here at the office, so I have little time. I just wanted to say a few things:
It was great seeing Randy and Shari again. And I was also thrilled to meet Steve and Bill and their wives. Fun show. Some domestic-classic guys had no respect whatsoever for anyone at the show with a '90s Japanese car, but overall people had a lot of questions. My favorite was from a lady, I'm guessing in her 60s: 'Who makes the Subaru?' I got my highest efficiency from the SVX yet, 31.4mpg, on the way down. The trick seems to be to set the cruise at 73-74 and just leave it for 220mi. It took me 7 hours to get down, 6 to get back. On the way back I just followed whoever was going the fastest, and one of them happened to be a black C5 with a plate that read 'PAGAN.' I followed him at speeds up to 120mph for some time. I did the first 300mi in 3.5 hours, which is an average speed of 85.7mph. That is way too damned fast for an *average*. I don't condone this, and I don't want ANYONE else to do it. Uhhmmm...that's it...

Sure, you don't condone it - but you'd do it again, right? Sounds like fun to me!
You must have been pretty anxious to get back to Mrs. Pockets. Steve

As for being anxious to get home, I left a LOT later than I said I was going to, and I couldn't actually tell her that until I got into Ohio (my cell network apparently doesn't extend farther than that), so I was in a hurry, yes.
