DUDE! Totally forgot to bring the Steppenwolf.

First day down. 511.4 miles on the clock and over half tank showing. Been driving between 55-60, mostly, and two stops. One was necessary(couldn't reach the COFFEE!) and the other was bathroom. I'm currently just over the border in Ohio on I90 at the TA off exit 235. Nice place. There is a Freightliner Service point in the yard.

I shot some vids of people passing and checking out the Jetta, but they will have to wait for uploading until I can edit out the less-than-interesting ones.

Car's running great despite the heat, it reached 41+C on the dash.

I only bought an hour of internet time, so I probably won't be able to answer any replies until I get to TC's.

I'll be leaving here early, and only have ~300 miles to go.

Yeah! All the free WiFi you can use, here! My in-house IT technician should be home from spending the night at his friends about the time you roll in, too. He'll get you hooked up.

Trying like mad to get the t'ailer done, but it doesn't look like I'm gonna make it. Unless I don't sleep.

We'll have fun tuft testing and videoing, though.

Ken, I've been out of the loop, did you convert the car to diesel power before the trip? Good luck on the trip!
