First road trip in frs

Going from Arkansas to Texas mapped out my ethanol free gas stations. Parked to get gas a couple hillbillies pull up so nice car, took like 5 pics of it and on my way out gave me a thumbs up. Had no clue what kind of car it was. The drive was nice. Got to finally stretch it out on the highways. Plenty of power for me. May invest in better seats though.

The car really does turn some heads through less populated areas, then again that may be because of the red gram lights. But overall a great road trip car, good gas mileage and very comfortable. I had put 5,500 miles on it in two months and will be putting another 1,400 this weekend.

Try adjusting things some more first.
Mine is comfy as, once dialed in.

If I move things around for cleaning or to get in the back, I have to futz about again.

Yep, road trips are fun ....

As for the seats, you may try a simple pad (closed cell foam) to give your rump some cushion ...

I'm good with the seats. Took the advice experimental with moving it. Realized it was one click to far but thank you for the advice
