Unhappy Auto trip to Miles City

Mod, toss it if it is unexceptible. Mr., I just want to ride!

With the HHR in the body shop after the last smack, I swear that thing have a target on it. We needed to go to Miles City to get with our tax lady. with Gas at $3.20 and diesel at $4 we would like to take the bike, not the Suburban or truck. It was only 40 deg, so I went out to the "barn" and dug out "Old reliable" (yah right) to see what would break this time.

We had a nice trip in, and a great lunch. Candice only was able to eat one burrito, so I will have a great lunch again tomorrow. The heater still works, and that was good as it never did get over 45 all day.
The car got 18 mpg and was as fun as ever to drive. I will bring it out more this summer, but will wait a bit before testing to see if the AC still works. It did when I parked it last spring.

Only 18mpg from the Vette and that is your vehicle with the highest mpg? I think an ST or Multi and electric gear are in order.

I lived in a town called Alberton in the 70s while working for the Milwaukee RR. They had no speed limit. The law read " Whatever is reasonable and prudent." I remember passing state troopers over 90mph on my CB500. Great time to speed, the 70s.
