Default Road Trip

Just got done driving from northern Indiana to Tucson, AZ. The car was on and running 26 hours out of the 32 hour trip. 1900 miles. No problems at all

I figured some good news on this forum is needed from time to time.

That's pretty awesome to hear. What are you doing in Tucson?

I just started a new job at Caterpillar at their research and development facility.

Good stuff... I've made a few good trips in my B5, all without any issues. NY to MD and back twice, NY to KS, KS to TX, TX to AL and back, TX to VA and back...

She is a champ!

Nice! The summer before last my dad and I took a road trip in my car, driving from SoCal to Vegas, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Total was 2200 miles but it was over the course of a week. Gotta love these cars when they run well

I always make sure I let the car idle extra long after long highway runs when stopping for gas and stuff. At night, you could see the turbo and cat glowing a bit! But, she never skipped a beat...

Of course, now she's giving me all sorts of issues!
