Nothing impressive here.

Was a very good mental health day. I really needed it. ;) Weather was volital to say the least. Temps where warm in the lower to mid 80's. Winds from the south at 15 to 25 mph. Gave me a heck of a cross wind for about 240 miles on the trip. Also had several thunder storms to deal with. Those huge windshield wipers did great.

Jumped in the Civic and headed for Ft. Smith, Arkansas. I call it home. Grew up there and have many life long friends in that area. I first went to my fathers in Van Buren, Ar. Had a good vist with him. He drove the Civic. Pushing 70 years of age he is still one of the best drivers Ive ever seen. The Civic was putty in his hands. Went over to the local Honda dealer and inquired about FIT. They enjoyed seeing a Sedan, MT, Navi. They hadnt had one on there lot yet. They stated it would be a MSRP sale olny if on there lot. Kinda upset them when I showed them my paperwork. :D

I bought a 1983 Silver 300 series 5 cyl turbo desiel Benz while I was there for $1800.00 with only 38k miles on it. The car is like brand new. Im going to give it to my oldist daughter.

Had alot of fun with the Civic. FE wasnt the best. :( with my father driving it and another friend. It was hard to keep it above 43 mpg for the tank average.

Here are a few pics and a short vid. clip

Hi Psy:

___With those ferocious cross winds, you achieved spectacular FE. Excellent job! More importantly, I was glad to read your drive was one of those more relaxing ones.

___Good Luck

Hi Psy:

___Sorry I didn’t view the video the first time! Excellent use of a close in to distant drafts and more importantly, FAS’ing in action. It was indeed a pleasure to see your Civic’s RPM’s at 0 while cruising down the highway at 60 - 65 mph :D

___It was cool when you touched the rumble strip while filming too ;)

___Finally, work on the spelling in the last segment of your vid :o

___Good Luck

Nice Job, Psy. :)

I likeeeeeeee Video: :D

should have lit up your scangauge, and might as well get another camera person unless you want your viewers to drop on the fly foaming.

Pretty hardcore fliming and being on the highway was expecting to see how you bump started but with one hand on the camera i guess that's impossible nice job.
