NJ-CA-NV-UT-NJ With a Turbo *Lots of Pics*

[Al Guapo]

Hi,
I just got back from my long road trip. The car didn't skip a beat. Special thanks goes out to PowerHouse for engineering a great turbo kit and TTP for a rock solid tune. I'm just very happy that I didn't break down in some desert Some of the premium gas in the midwest was only 89 octane!

It's good to be back home...

According to my gauges here's what I have:
Average MPG ------ 22.3 MPG
Average MPH ------ 60 MPH
Gallons Used ------ 301.8 Gal
Total Time --------- 108:48:45
Here's the before and after mileage...

Here are the places I went to:
First stop I took 4751 home.

Yosemite NP

The Pacific Coast drive from San Francisco to Santa Monica...

Majove Desert from Santa Monica to Vegas

Vegas Baby...

Zion NP, UT

The drive from Zion NP to Bryce NP


Dixie NF / Bryce NP. That SS in the background had NY plates!

You know you never realize how much there is to see in our country until you see coast to coast in one area like this. Makes me want to just jump in the car and drive for a month myself.

I have to say this...

I'm am extremely jealous of you. I wish I could drive in locations like that. Florida is so damn boring.

In South Florida it's....

"Oh look! A Palm tree! Oh look a million dollar home that no one lives in for 3/4 of the year! Oh look a trailer park half a mile down the road!"

Very nice pics! thanks for sharing. I miss taking that drive from Santa Monica all along the coast up to San Fran.

It was worth the experience.
