First Road Trip for me and my car!!!

Yes after having my car for about 1 year and 10 months..im taking my car up North to FRISCO. As i was tellin my bro and sis...they started bitchin..."whaaaaa your car wont be able to make it up there." I dont believe them cause i know it can. But just wondering has anyone else taken there car really far?

See the problem is not getting there! you can make it there and back many times and you'll have no problems. The problem is driving inside Frisco with all those hills you'll kill your clutch in no time.

i went to frisco in dads tl type s and i pretty much pushed 110 the whole way... about a hour off the grape vine there was a highway patrol in the other side making a u turn and i didn't see her... she did a compleat circle and tryed to get on the freeway, but by this time i got off the freeway at a rest stop and me and my friends went into the bathroom, she was right there waiting... she asked us if we were ok, then copied something down and left... i was shitting in my pants!!!!

that was the only cop i saw up the 5.

you wont have a problem. the second month I had my car I took my parents to santa fe
new mexico. got sweet milage even tho the ac was on most of the way(summer time).
watch out for cops on the way out of la going into the hills. I got a ticket there once for 80+
The chp guy was cool, he coulda got me for 95. and he complimented my car.
