How did the car look after you brought it back home? any bug residue? Its hard as heck to remove it completely after long road trips.

Didn't pass one single FR-S/BRZ the whole time either. And everywhere I stopped had people asking me about the car too!

Where in TN you at?

Also wanted to note that I was averaging 31-33 MPG the whole trip (based on my calculations, not the car's computer, which was actually showing a slightly lower MPG rating).
