How's your oil condition?
I've never seen that kind of mileage in such a short time, I'd imagine with minimal starts and warmups it wouldn't have degraded too much.

I checked my oil and it still looks good, I had changed it right before the trip. As far as fuel goes I fueled up a total of 17 times, but, I wasnt always on or near empty when I got gas. There are several areas along the way in Canada that do not offer premium fuel so if I came across a stationed that had it I would usually go ahead and top it off, which saved my a$$ more than a couple times. I think I calculated it up one time and I believe I was getting close to 28ish mpg.

Ill post some pics up that I took here in a min. The springs came with the car when I bought it. I've been wanting to go for a set of coilovers but didn't know which ones were pretty good. Havn't put in too much research on them to know which ones I would like to get, any suggestions?
