Default Weekend Drive! 500miles. Few pics

My license is out of wack for another 3 weeks, but I was dying to go for a drive in my car. So with my girl behind the wheel we took her out of the garage, which it has been sitting in for the last 3 month. Boy it felt good.
Went to Saratoga springs, but ended up staying in Lake George, got a killer deal on the suite.
Got 27.1 Mpg average for the whole trip, from start to finish. Could have made it on one tank, but at 450 miles and a quarter left, I filled it up again. I am sure I could have done 500 +.

One thing, small town, Black car with dark Tints, and cops look at you weird.

Weather was good on sat, close to 60F.

Few pics!

Great vehicle for travel. The range on these is incredible.

That's exactly how my car looked in 1998.

Thanks dudes!

Car eats up miles easy. I would drive to California, but I am not sure I will last the drive. PLus I would need a new Music collection, 3 weeks off work etc.

Im gonna head up to Canada in a month or so, once it gets warmer, stretch some legs a little. I figure a 1400 mile drive should do it.
THrow in new engine mounts, Ball Joints and new front tires and I am off!!!

NICE, what tint % do you have and how many miles so far??

NY to CA is one hell of a road trip, not that I've done it personally, but if I had to leave tomorrow I would for sure take the LS.

I've driven my LS from Houston to Key West, the mountains in the Carolina's and all places in between. Even though I have done some extensive modifications to the suspension, it is still a very comfortable road car on long trips. The best part is at 209,000 (now) it drives just like it did when it was new - one of the best cars out there
