2 hours of driving.

[Voodoo.Priest]

I got 2 weeks off work!

So I took my little blue GT-S on a 2 hour drive to visit my grandparents for a few days. After playing paint ball last night till 1:30am and going to sleep at 3:30am I was ready to drive at 9:00am this morning. I was surprised that I was not tired at all when I got up thoe I was still a bit sore from the brawl from that night.

There are 3 things I learnt about my car today. One is the GT-S is really good on gas. Every car I've taken on this trip before lost half a tank of gas on this trip. My GT-S only lost a quarter! Wow!

Ther second thing is that my car is very slow. I was going 60km/h uphill in 5th with the accelorator to the floor. Such super sonic speeds as every one flew by me. LOL! Damned steep hills.

The last is my car dosen't like dirt/gravel. I could feel the back end of the car slipping very slightly. Not anything that was alerting in any way but I could feel it.

My grandparent's net service sucks. LOL! Damned dial up. I took 20 min to to finally conect to the net. LOL!

the ae86 is a driver's car.. you need to shift that bad boy to get some get up and go..

5th is strictly for cruising haha

whoa i didn't see that 60 km/h in 5th the first time around.. what kind of rpms are you spinning doing that??

i don't know if that's healthy for the engine.. you don't want to lug it..

learn how to drive a 4ag!! 4ag =high rev!!!!

60km/h try second gear works like a charm! :wink:

60 in 5th will put you right at 2000rpm.

[fatredcircle]

86's aren't good on gas
they rev high as hell!

[goodcookiedrift]

120km @ 4500 rpm = not good on gas!!!!!

Nope not fualty at all. I just did another 1.5 hours of driving today and I still have over half a tank left. LOL! I'm doing alot of driving. I'll might be taking my grandparents to Port Dover for a day. Thats a nice 3.4-4 hour drive from where I am now.

I know I should have geared down to go up that hill but I wanted to see how slow it was going to go in 5th.

I like these countrie roads up here. No lights and not stop signs. It is very relaxing to drive up here even thoe I fear a dear or something will leap out at me at any second. But I figure the noise the car makes should scare most of the animals away.
