Another road trip to AZ in my 91 - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I had fun with a WRX on my last trip between Pheonix and Tucson some years back. Made the trip in 1hr

Poor little thing just had his rubber band wound up as tight as it'd go but just kept disappearing in the rear view mirror. Then I decided to let him go and I tucked in behind a semi. Went round a bend with an over pass and the poor WRX was there pulled over with some red lights behind him.
It was a great trip.
My sister asked how I knew there'd be trouble up ahead. I just said, "the law of averages".

It was 104deg at midnight. It was September. My car has a stock radiator etc and hovered around 226 deg.

Pete,
The pavement gets real soft and squishes between your toes!!!
I love snow, but I have not seen -20 degrees in a long time.

Just a thought for those heading out on trips: check the air pressure in your spare. When I had my newly acquired 95 with 20k miles in for service at Marc's, he found the pressure to be 20 psi. It should be either 50 or 60 psi--have to look up the exact number. --Bob
