I drove up to the bay area this weekend and hung out and crashed at Ernie’s pad. He wasn’t feeling well, but the important thing is that I got to see all the important things, like the lesbian book store, the jack in the box, the liquor store, and the gay bar across the street — as seen on lyd!
A few weeks ago I got a GTI manual from ebay. It has this doohickey called a “Multi-Funktions-Anzeige” which computes all kinds of fun stats.
Here’s my trip up on the PCH:
- Trip time: 9:34 hr
- Distance: 473 mi
- Avg speed: 49 mph
- Gas mileage: 26.6 mpg
Down on the 5:
- Trip time: 6:11 hr
- Distance: 413 mi
- Avg speed: 67 mph
- Gas mileage: 27.3 mpg
And for the whole weekend:
- Trip time: 16:51 hr
- Distance: 903 mi
- Avg speed: 54 mph
- Gas mileage: 26.7 mpg
On a completely unrelated note, it seems like that speed limiter on my GTI really does kick in at 130mph. And hey look, them thar fancy schmancy GIAC chips are only $125…
