That was close!!



I managed to get 524 miles out of one tank of gas! But you can see by my warning light, it was a close call but i think my owner, who I suspect has run out of gas in other cars (at least three others, including the Hamilton College Jitney -ed.), so he was anxious to get some gas!

Back from 'Bama


I got back from Alabama late last night--so late that I didn't even notice that I'd gone over 82,000 miles! I'm getting a lot of excercise these days! Just last November, I only had 65,000!

IRP!


I was at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today for Formula One, and then, tonight, we went to Indianapolis Raceway Park for some circle-track racing. My owner must know someone because i got to park right up close to the stands. We got out of there before the race ended, though, so we didn't have to wait for traffic!

Can't you see...it's Tennessee...



And...don't forget, Alabama! We went down south, as far South as I've ever been for the race in Birmingham. It was crazy hot, but my a/c worked just fine, thank you! And, it was another new track for me...

In good company


We stopped at my owners parents place, and i was not the only saab in town! We didnt get to go to the dealership for a car wash, but it was still a fun visit!

Watkins Glen...


So after my trip West, it was a tour to the East. We stopped at Thors place on the way out for the 6 Hour race, which had some lousy weather. I though, had a CB for the first time in a long time, and we got some great milage.

winky wink!


well, looks like its time for a new headlight for me! I think i'm also due for my 60 and 75 k services...should be good to get a little tuned up. I think I'm heading back out East soon!

WASH ME!!



After nearly 3,000 miles in about two weeks...I finally got a scrubbing back at home!

Home again!





Well..thats more like it! I'm back at home after the weekend of race tracks. Harmon couldn't even bear to look at me because I'm a little dirty after all my driving around. I didn't get to see Michael because he had to leave early to get to school...

It was nice being back in the old neighborhood and checking in with my freind the minivan...Hopefully we get to stick around for a while!

Getting started


I hear I am making another trip...the opposite way i was just going....

Now going East!

Well, I only got a couple days to chill out in the nice cool garage before I was getting loaded up once again...CB...GPS...etc...so then it was east to Columbus, and then on south to Virginia. I didn't know if i was heading home or not. Turned out that i was just going to a bunch of race tracks, although some of the roads in between them were an awful lot of fun....










I also managed to get 32 miles/gallon for most of this trip...I'm pretty impressed with myself, and i can tell my driver likes being able to almost go 500 (!) miles before stopping for fuel...see, I'm not thirsty!
