Okay so I have to be in Vegas this week for work. I am driving down this week & leaving my Car at John Pedersons place in Vegas. Lets me split my 17-18 hour drive to Lake Havasu between weeks. I'll be in Vegas until friday the 16th & fly home. I'll fly back into Vegas on the 22nd. Then head down to Route friday.
I will leave first thing in tomorrow morning & drive to RENO. Hoping there is a teener or 2 there who will be up for some dinner. I figure to grab a hotel somewhere around Reno or possibly further down the road. We'll see how the day goes. It would be better if I could get a few more hours drive in after dinner. I need to be in Vegas tuesday by 3 or 4 at the latest. Also any road problems I should worry about? Anywhere I should steer clear of? |

I made it to Vegas. Stopped to top it off in Bakersfield. Drove the rest of the way to Vegas. I am sure it it close to empty again. Decided to see if Renegade could fit me in to replace it. They were backed up & couldn't do it. Luckily Toast said she & Jake could do it this weekend. I have no time to do it before Route. So I figured I want to have it done & ready.
Other than the tranny problems the drive was good. It got a little warm in the heat & long hills. Nothing in the red but enough to make me a little nervous. My beautifully clean LE is not anymore. All the oil on the back makes it look nasty. So my LE woes continue but I suppose I should be used to that huh? |
