Miles is miles....

I think the miles award should be to a guy who ironmanned his XJ to WF, wheeled it, then drove it home.

Tow rigs and airplane tickets don't count. Beating on your junk 400 miles from home counts.

And Southbridge to Attica is 961 miles. Don't church it up. :flipoffsmiley

i agree with that. especially with happened to me on my trip to kentucky last year. 600 miles one way, in 95+ degree heat with no radio or air listening to those mud tires howl pretty much sucked.

Agreed!
Opie, his first WF drove his POS from Lincoln, NE to Attica, changed a hub along the Interstate in the dark, threw a bag of potatoes at my wife, wheeled the piss out of his rig, and drove it back to Lincoln.

Distance one-way to Attica ended up being 956 miles. http://g.co/maps/2epxe

On the way back I went through Chicago and took 90/80/81/84 back, so it ended up as 2027 miles roundtrip.

Filled the tank 3 or 4 times each way (I don't remember... hell... I don't remember a few hours of the driving I did last night) at 25-30 gallons per fill. When I get my account statement I'll have to add the fuel costs up out of curiosity.

The CEL on the van that I was complaining about Thursday turned itself off by the time I rolled into Ohio. Never been able to fix a problem like that by ignoring it before, I guess I should do more long distance trips.
