2 weeks 10000+ miles. So-cal to Bowling Green. Then off to Colonial Williamsburg going thru the Shenandoah Valley. Up to Washington DC. From there to Gettysburg PA. Left there and went to Indianapolis, St Louis and home to Kansas City for a few days. Left KC and home to California. One of the best 2 week vacations I ever took. Car ran like a champ. Closing in on 200k miles on her and still running good.

Spring of 2014, from NE Indiana to California central coast. Over 6000 miles. We were able to drive 12 hour days going out and never felt stiff when we got out. Very comfortable for long drives.
