AMAZING pictures. I have a crush on Fuel even more than before. Damn, it's one thing to trek across the country taking in the beautiful sites...it has to be a whole other feeling to do it in such a beatiful car as well. You hit the lottery. If I begged would you mind emailing a couple of those pics so I can use them on my desktop here and at work?

Again...I'm glad you and Fuel made it safe. You ought to start a post telling us all the stories!

I have 20 receipts from fill ups and know I'm missing at least three, maybe more. Average about thirty dollars a fill. So about $690.00 in fuel 23 fills!
1/2qt. of oil.

That 13g tank is a pain on a long road trip.

One ground issue with the tail lights related to a ground issue with the fuel-gauge. Lights are working, still an issue with the gauge. The idiot light is still on.(check engine) Some issues with the DSE electric RS headlight units, it gave us a hassle the whole way now I have some zip ties holding it together.(works better now) I also noticed some 'sweating' of fluids from the rear.
Valve cover coming lose, a loose lower radiator hose. Some interior fit issues that became a bit of a pain.

That's about it!

Trunk shot. Tools, gas, wash stuff and a "bike dryer" for drying the car. (warm filtered hot air)

Man...that is so bad ass. I am so jealous of not only the car but the experience you had buying it. Congrats again...:thumbsup:

Thanks for all the positive replies! It was truly an adventure and we both had lots of fun. I have some before/after pics from the detail shop, kind of interesting.
Which reminds me, Jason how much is that carbon fiber front spoiler?
It took a hit along the way, pics will follow...

Oh ya that radar detector in a pic or two above saved us lots! We also had some unreal radar 'karma.'

Later!

Consider that done, I plan to road trip to Vancouver with the car, hopefully this fall if I can pull it off. (busy at work)

Where did you end up getting the escort detector at?
