It was actually suffering a little bit at the 35th. Turns out I had stuck sliders on one rear caliper. (I wondered why there was so much break dust on that wheel when I cleaned for the car show.) When I pressed the brake, the caliper would slide enough to pull the outer pad to the rotor, but when I released the brake, the pad would stay snug against the rotor.
All fixed now, and the car actually feels like it has a tad more power.

Better at the 35th than RFTH.  That trip netted a bit over 830 miles on my Fiero.  How many did you put on yours?  About 2,,000?

About 700 each way. And I did the 2nd 700 all in one day.

So, 1,400 miles, plus the cruises.  My best was 1,100 miles in 11 hours, but I started at 7pm, after a day of hiking, then drove through a snowstorm in the mountains.

I think you started home before 8am, so it shouldn't have been a bad drive.  Probably very scenic.

I left at about 7:40 local time, which is 8:40 my time Got home in about 12 hours. Had a sit down lunch to rest, and bought a neat LED camping lantern in a travel store.

Actually, that's not true.  I headed West, and crossed a time zone, so more like 12 hours.
