Had a great drive from Tampa to Newton, TX yesterday. The vette ran GREAT and I got a decent 26 mpg average...and that's with the headlights up. I usually lose about 1.5-2mpg depending on wind direction with the lights up. Arrived at 3:00am central time. Just over 13hrs. Sure felt like we made better time, but a stop at a Hardees took WAY too long...but the food was worth the wait. Developed a horrible rattle under the dash. Man is it annoying but it only comes out while riding over really rough road surfaces. Well, next up is San Antonio, TX on Monday. Then on Friday I go skydiving with my in-laws, and head to New Orleans for the night. Then back home on Saturday. Will post pics if I get the chance...man I love the new MacBook and wi-fi.

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
