Finally have (mostly) everything installed on the car that I want. Still waiting on the roof rack from Mitsubishi...
Was able to take Piddles out today and go for a drive on the Cascade Loop here in the Pacific Northwest. Ended up hitting the "Seattle Northcountry" and "Stevens Pass" section of the loop and having a relaxing time. The country here is beautiful. Was raining most of the day with areas of standing water on the road. Was moving pretty fast (60mph+ on twisty mountain roads) on 40psi+ tires, but luckily didn't run into any issues with hydroplaning. The tires are new, but still happily surprised (and alive). I previously owned a Monte Carlo SS and can remember the front tires turning into skis on more than one occasion. May have been going a little faster than 60mph at the time, though...
That being said, let it be added to the logs that Piddles was able to push ~95mph for a short period of time today. Had it flat out on a straight and clear section of mountain road. I think the Mirage land speed record is ~112mph, so we were getting there. Good times! The Subaru WRX behind me did not want to have anything to do with my speed experiments, though, which was a shame. Always nice to have a pace car!
