wow...i just did aprox 1,100 m in my 94 volvo (alone)...a nice, convertible
car to drive...& was pretty tires...i'm 42, so that may be part of
it.....;-).......
as i was driving my spit @ 80mph...for aprox 15min straight sat am, i did
think how it is a stressful car to drive at speed...noise, vibration, etc..i
would have to say it would be much harder to drive a 1k mile day in a spit
vs most late 90's autos....my .02...richard/colorado/79 'spit
