cross country road trip

Was heading to Tn from Az for my annual winter see the kids trip, power steering pump exploded this past weekend, but thanks to Juan who sold me a serpentine belt for a sweet price, and a write up on how to rebuild the pump, and of course ebay airlineautoparts in houston 2 day aired me a pump for 44 bucks plus shipping, so now my trip is still on, in my beemer I can drive the 1900 miles in just over 24 hours, so now I'll get to see how the C32 compares. Mileage economy will blow compared to 30+ mpg at 75 I get the beemer, but this has got be a better ride.

I just drove this past summer with my wife and son from Virginia Beach, VA to San Diego, CA. What a great trip. I know I have the C55 vice your C32, but it will be a good sled to take you west! I was getting around 24-28mpg depending on terrain/wind direction.

Safe travels, sounds like a great fun adventure!

Unless you WANT to drive across country, it's always cheaper to fly such large distances. You must just be a road warrior!
