[s-cars] Notes from my trip to Yosemite...

[Emre Washburn]

790 km = 494 m

I recently went on a long (not as long as Gabriel's) trip. I could
only manage 410 m on one tank, but averaged 88mph :-)  (Yes, the 92
trip comps are great tools)

Nothing's better then two UrS4's, same color, same year trading lanes
on an empty there lame high way, on an abandoned Upstate NY (our
destination was 30 minutes from Montreal) interstate. I hit my
max-ever land speed at 135 (try at your own risk), yet my buddy who
still has his speed lmiter, was cheated out by Audi at a few mph shy
of 130. We had a newer Mustang come up and chalange us, and then
continue to roll out at ~120mpg and end up getting pulled over 45
minutes later. Thanks for the block Mr .Stang ;-), and yes, he was out
of the car and in cuffs as we passed. Phew :-) tahnks God it was not
one of us.
