Default The monte made it!

Went from Houston, TX to Atlanta, GA. Just about 800 miles and 12 hours, only 4 10 minute gas/food stops. Cruise control set to about 75 i was getting 32 mpg for most of it. Kept the windows down the whole time with no A/C and she stayed at about 215* the whole time, seems a bit hot for the highway but i am missing the plastic undercarriage pieces and they probably would have helped direct air to the radiator.

Heard a lot of whining from the front passenger wheel hub but that was the only real issue.

I never should have doubted my baby lol.
