Wow!!! What a wild ride this has been
With over 21,000 miles through 34 UNIQUE states in the past 2 mos. I have seen so much and driven in about every condition (except snow - yet) An AMAZING car, the Callaway SC580 keeps on rolling. WIth a couple sets of tires - one changed just to get the Supercar tires back on, all I have really had to do, is keep putting gasoline in, and change the oil.
The hardest place to find the "good gas" (91-93 octane), was in the state of New Mexico - the loneliest state was Iowa - the quickest state was West VA one trip, Delaware, another...
Funstuff!!!!!!

When we lived in New Mexico, I remember we had trouble finding more than 90 octane.

90?
Time to buy some Xylene and Toulene and bump up the octane.

LOL! There are some jokes to be made, but since Cooter's is a museum, they don't work!
