Sorry you aren't staying here-would have been nice to meet up briefly! I think we will be driving to Cedar Rapids tomorrow. Glad you got your alternator fixed. Hope you have an uneventful trip home!

Arrived home last night with no more problems. Had a nice little meet with Bailey, and helped her out a bit. Got what I thought to be decent mileage, too.

estimated 28.9 mpg after straight interstate driving plus ~35 miles of going to work, then to get gas afterward. If I had filled up right off of the interstate, I may have been close to 30+ mpg.

No, Mike was driving through, and since I live in Des Moines area, I gave him a call and he stopped as he was driving back to TN. We had never met but had a short but fun visit. Mine is the 94 Barcelona red, Mike's is gorgeous inside and out 92 pearlie.
