It was a great 1000k trip!

Hi, all,
Took the '44 all the way to Tuscon and back with 0 problems and I averaged about 30 mpg! I wasn't trying to save gas, either, I passed quite a few SUVs along the way. Took her up to 110 ( while passing in Indian country ) and cruised along I 40 at 85. The best part was going through the Salt River Canyon (very twisty road), the car corners better than anything I've ever driven! It did use about 1/2 quart of oil. I found out from Carfax that this car has had only 30k miles on it in the last 10 years, so I suspect it sat around for a while in somebody's yard. I probably won't be driving the car much over the winter( you gotta have 4wd where I live) so I'm going to park her in the garage and do some maintenance projects to get ready for next spring. Any suggestions?
What a great car!
Steve
