First road trip
Ok I have had my 78 L-48 for about a month now. I have driven it on several trips close to home. Saturday I had a big powwow at work and decided to drive the Vette. I work about 90 miles away. Car ran great. Engine ran 200deg all the way there. Everyone at work really diged it. Also got around 14 mpg. I didn't think that was to bad. Just wanted to share the story. The wife thought I was nuts. She doesn't under stand.
