My trip to Tia Juana's last Sat (3/8/08)

Killer Gas Mileage
2007 E63 P30
from 95037 to 91355
23.7MPG at 70MPH Average
return 93313 to 95037
this skips the mountains north of LA
23.8MPG at 76MPH

This was parts of my drive down to the get together in South LA on the 8th. Both are the same part of the day 4:30pm to 9:30pm, 55 to 60F.

Can't beat this for a 507HP car.

Did you know if you hit enough bugs you can start to make out the star pattern on the windshiled?

Now the best thing I saw was a set of headlight upgrades and side skirts. Check out the attached picture.

I also won an auction for 4 FK-452 Falken Tires. Got them for $650, a little less than retail given the size tire my car takes. But no Tax.
