The long drive..

[4g63tcrazy]

Well I drove my red talon back to school in Chicago for the first time. Made it there without the slightest of a problem! Not saying I wasn't confident but you guys know how it goes. The best part of it all is I got 26mpg! My stock panda was only getting 23mpg bone stock. This also was on E85.

Quick list of mods:

16g
E85
950cc
BC 272's
3" exhaust
Dejon intake with 2g mas
Spearco FMIC

This is my first time taking my car on a long drive and I'm just happy to get that good of gas mileage out of the car. I just thought I'd share since I'm bored. haha :)

Haha. I was loaded with a small tool kit, 3 quarts of oil, and a gallon of coolant.

Yeah, DSMs aren't the most comfortable long trip cars, but what can you do?

Mine saw a fair amount of trips between MN and Ames, IA last summer, and the previous owner did Duluth to the Cities and back pretty much every weekend for the 4 years he was in school up there, so it's not exactly a stranger to long drives.

Yeah I made the trip with my panda 10+ times and it never had a single problem. I'm just happy with the 26mpg. Better then I expected!

The worst part about long trips, at least for my car, is the lack of cruise control.

damn. correct me if im wrong, but last time i went to chicago, it took me 6 hours. I was there chillin with my cousin whom was attending UTI also. Chicago cars are quite the crazy ones at night though.

farthest i've driven with the galant is RF and back but I wanted to cruise more. Pretty comfy but i'd much prefer the evo 8 seats!
