First long trip with my 86...

Drove from Potland to Grand Junction, CO. Straight through, both ways.

1. The seats are more comfortable than I thought. I have a wrecked back, and I had no problems with that at all.

2. JFC, this thing needs another gear. Speed limits were 70 and 80 almost all the way.

3. The OFT with the E85 tune is worth every penny. I was frustrated with the car a few times since the trip was done with gasoline instead of booze.

4. I kept getting high-beamed. I need to check how the lights are aimed.

5. At about 80, I was noticing the hood seemed to be lifting a bit at the front. I was worried the latch was failing. I'd not noticed that before, but what else is there to notice in the middle of ID?

6. I like my 86. Nicest looking car in every rest stop, too.
