    I had slowed down at one point, i was probably on the phone, or I was just enjoying the ride... I had driven like 4 hours at that point...

    I was just giving you a bad time. I understand. I've driven my 512 TR from Seattle to L.A. - lots of not so high speed times when enjoying the ride. And today from Everett to Seattle was just getting on it in 3rd, backed off and yep, there was an undercover state trooper in HOV lane behind me. He and his partner caught up to me and just looked over and smiled. No ticket.

    Well... I would stop every 90mins or so, at a gas station/service center, to check the oil, and let the blood circulate in my legs.... total trip back to montreal was about 370miles... took me about 6 hours total, cause of my periodic stops.

    Since I purchased the car, i put on about 1,500miles in one month, then the car was stored for winter. Now the car is currently in for a major service, and exhaust upgrade... i can't wait to get it out...
