Sticker is gone! When I was fueling in Barstow, the clerk had a razor. And I USED it. The previous owner, a member here, could pull it off. I'm a dumpy white guy.
I made it to Vega in 8 hours from Oakland after buying shoes at DSW and stopping by Best Buy to get a power plug adapter. My Valentine plug wouldn't connect and I needed to power my phone as well. As for the shoes... All I had we're my sandals (I forgot the damn shoes!) and they are to wide for the foot space. Heel toe is a ***** for me. Can't seem to press the gas and the brake, unless I wear the sandles.
.
I had lunch in an In and out burger. I parked next to a continental GT and a Maserati 4 door. It's my artistic side...
The car looks and drives great. I'm getting used to the light front end and Maybe BHT can help me with dialing in less twitch at high speed. With a tune from Sharkwerks and the AWE exhaust, this thing moves. I'm glad I waited four years to find this one. Ill post more as it happens. I'm heading to the tables.

Left Vegas at 8am
My buddy arrived late into Vegas and we went out briefly, but still woke up later than we should have. The traffic on 40 is moderate, but they sure do move. We followed a truck pulling a 27 foot checkered boat at 86 MPH. then another truck was pulling a 10 foot trailer at 94 MPH.
The roads are mostly straight and smooth. But the TT does not like thorough roads at high speed. It darts about and the steering is very sensitive to input.
The pic is from the Arizona /New Mexico border. We're now about 100 miles outside of Albuquerque.

Steve, UrbanHotrod
Thank you! The car is stock except for an AWE Exhaust and a Sharkerks tune. Though it doesn't get above .9 bar. Most of the time .8 bar is the limit.
We arrived in Lubbock at 11 pm central. Five or six hours more to go for Austin.
