Well finally got to go on my first road trip while mother nature is burning up the rest of Idaho up! This is Idaho City an old Gold Town built in 1862. Next trip were going to Sun Valley (famous ski resort about 3 hours from where I live) p.s. the car ran flawlessly!

Oh, sorry forgot to post that! It was a short trip, 3 hour round trip and about 150 miles (mostly windy roads) I averaged 24.2 mpg. My car has 105,000 miles on it.

What a great place for a cruse with some very nice scenery. Your car looks great and doesn't look like a car with 105,000 miles on it.

Yea, Idaho is a great place to cruise when the forests aren't on fire!

Thanks, they are 104,000 pampered miles when I bought it from the original owner! He only drove it from May-Sept and never in the rain for 22 years! I've put a 1,000 miles on it in the last few months.
