Just got back yesterday from a small roadtrip from central-ish Maine to central NH. About 640 miles round trip. I was expecting it to be a lot hotter than it was, but even still, at 82 degrees and the humidity at 9000% it makes a black car with a black leather interior and no working A/C unholy.
But the 'Rora ran flawlessly. No new broken things, got about 28.4mpg on the way down, and then my average went down the bog a bit when I got lost down there for a while. It's now at about 27.5mpg average. I can swallow that. Any car that can outpace a Taurus SHO V8 and still manage over 27mpg is definitely a car I want to keep. The SHO made a lot of noise, but by the time 100mph rolled around on my needle there was more than enough room for it to pull back in behind me.
So, I think I'll keep for a while yet. : D

That 9000% humidity will get you every time....7000% is bearable. Glad to hear the car ran well

I didn't think there was any humidity up North. There are 5 bodies of water called the Great Lakes. They make for some great hair days for my wife.
