Well, i made it to my grandparents in CT, even after a detour to jm's place. Fairly un eventful..... Got pulled over by state highway patrol in Illinois, wasnt speeding, but he asked me about my exaust, we chatted for a bit and got some laughs, after he pulled me over, i stopped at a gas station to gas up, and noticed my rear wheel was coming loose. Checked it again after i stopped again, and it was loose again, stupid lug nuts. At johns he fixed me up with 2 that worked out much better. I stopped in at my grandparents, and in a way im glad i made the trip up here, but at the same time im regretting it. The cancer has pretty much taken her already, she look absolutely awful. But im going to stay at my sisters and go over there every day im up here in ct, and thank god that i can still spend her last days with her to try and make her more relaxed. My grandfather is taking her cancer bad aswell, he looks like shit from stressing. Anyway, im gonna get to bed and get some needed rest. Take care all. |

Glad you made it okay. So the state trooper pulled you over because of your exhaust? Was there a problem with it or was he just interested in it? |

For those that are interested, I arrived home at 2am this morning, non stop, just fuel stops. 21 hours. my total drive round trip plus driving in CT was 3184.6 miles, highway i averaged 38mpg, and during the driving in CT i averaged 33mpg. My grandma is doing a little better, but shes got a very long way to go. Sucks going up there and leaving knowing that this is probably the last time i will see them both alive. But we had great last memorys, i said my goodbyes, and got things off my chest. My grandfather gave me his old WW2 rifle that i never even knew he had, lots of research to do on it, since he has no idea what it is, or if it shoots. He said he got it in the 50s from someone else. But, it was a great trip nonetheless. Didnt have any breakdowns, but i did manage to break a few things while on the race track in CT, Lime Rock state park autocross..... Who does that, rallycrosses the only source of transportation, while 1500 miles away.... Thats right, this guy ![]() ![]() Edited by Scoobs, Jun 18 2017, 08:51 AM.
