Default Getting ready for a 1500 mile trip.

I'm preping for a trip to my grandpa's house to help my dad with sorting out his estate and getting the house "sale worthy." I won't be taking the blazer though, I don't think she'd make it, not to mention that it gets 16-17 mpg at 80mph.
We will be taking a trip to Cedar Point while we're there too.
This will be the first time I've been there since I started riding big rollercoasters, it'll be a blast.
So I won't be around for about a week and a half, unless I sign-on with my phone, we'll see.

Ha mine does 16 at 80 mph, we made it and it was a good trip. Both ways it was 3600 miles, 1800 one way for the math challenged. I was guessing and I guessed wrong. 62 hours of driving in a week and a half, it sucked. But we had a good time and that's all that really matters I guess.
