Default Short trip and Duh moment

So I took the LS for a weekend to Albany NY. I had no idea how far away it was, but filled up before I left obviously. Once on the Ma Pike (toll road) I got my toll booth ticket and looked up at my visor to stick it on top when I saw the little slot in the visor.

Thats the DUH moment.. How did I not realize that is what it is for before this?

Anyway, happy to report that one tank of gas brought me from near Tiverton Ri to Albany New York, all around Albany, and home. 543 to this tank. I absolutely love this car for long trips. Average speed was around 70-79mph.

Only problem now is this thing is FILTHY...

EZPass, my friend! LOL! I hear you... It's always nice to discover new features. I use it for my tickets at parking garages.

And yes, for a V8, it's a super efficient car on the highway. Good times

Hahahaha every time we go somewhere we mention how we have to get EZPass. Finally just signed up for it. Now I can drive right on through like every other normal person.

I remember working with the Japanese when we were implementing the ticket holder on the sunvisor. Had to find all kind of ticket sizes to make sure the holder was as versatile as possible
