Did a round trip from Philly to Atlanta, about 13 hours each way. Not having cruise control sucks, but not a bad experience at all.

1400 miles when i got the evo last year in july these were the issue i drove with had

crack manifold
Major exhaust leak(cat not bolted on properly)
o2 housing missing bolts adding to exhaust leak
Spark plugs needed to be changed
Dented Intercooler at the bottom
87 oct(as i did not know at the time lol)

If i can make a 24 hour trip like that only stopping in ALT for one nights sleep the evo can make it anywhere lol. yes i did speed some hitting 15 psi of boost
