I drove the 240 700 miles this weekend to see my friend graduate college. It ran like a top and though miserably un-tuned, it managed a steady 20mpg. It was a pretty boring drive through freaking nowhere Alabama and Mississippi, so no pictures of the trip.

Here is me after many, many beers and 3/4 of a liter of George d!ck. The night gets kind of foggy after this was taken.



Oh, I forgot, that night I ended up at a strip club until 7am and spent all of my money. I am at a bar called Silky O Sullivan's in Memphis, TN, in the picture.

I'm a big dumb animal, aren't I folks?

I actually only spent about $125 on gas. I didn't bother to figure out what kind of mileage that was, but it was way crappier than usual, so...

125/3.90 = 32.0, 645 (actual mileage)/32 = 20.1mpg. Math pwns you.

You think I was drunk then? You should see the pictures from later. Every single one I was in, I was 99% passed out on my friend's shoulder. Like, I was still standing, but I had no sensory motor functions left.

So your RB gets better mpg than a normal CA? What have you done to it?

Anyways r34 gtr, looks like you had fun, and congrats on your friend graduating.
