        Made it home safely. No big problems. MadScientist's baby will get a new head gasket asap.

          Just got back to my dads a little bit ago. Donnys on his way back home, Ill be heading home for bed here in a minute.

          Oh yeah it was extremely random coming across Fester on the way back! I kept having issues with hydroplaning there though, otherwise I would have mini-convoyed with you. ONLY had that problem on the ohio turnpike though... most expensive road is also the biggest piece of crap.

                  So sitting in south bend at Culvers scratching my head...went to wally world and got a 13/16 and checked my plug, it.was tight like it should be. I pulled it out and the crush ring was fine. I ran it for about 5 mins at 4000 and never saw oil coming out from anywhere. Checked pvc, that's good, oil cap can't be leaking this much, valve cover gasket is new and I looked it over good but saw no leaks. Im pissed it leaks a quart to 250 miles now. I am just stocked on oil and will fill every time I get gas I guess and worry about it when I get home....any ideas?

                      Looks to be leaking from the aspire intake tube. Maybe too much suction from the intake elbow to the valve cover tube. Ill pinch off the hose and see if that helps.

                        I made it home about an hour ago. I had a friend drive my Aspire for me... part of a last minute thing since my other driver had an emergency. So she drove 2 hours to get my car and bring it to the meet. I was already there in Britstiva, so there was no way I could get the Aspire there without her.

                        She had planned to enlcose her patio and had already lined it up with her dad to help... so she rescheduled it for today. It took us 8 hours to tear out a wall, and install french doors and 3 glass block windows.

                        Shew... I'm beat.

                          My round trip was 1627.7 miles. 50.9 gallons of gas total. Averaged 32 mpg, with a best of 36.8, which is my best overall with the BPT.

                          However this whole trip only costed me $50-60!
