All packed up for a road trip with my family!

We made it out to WI Dells last night. Two blocks from the hotel I hit a skunk! Car smells terrible. Came out this morning to find my plate is bent and upside down. Think it was the skunk or someone trying to steal my plate? Probably a vandal seeing how it is upside down and bent outwards.

We're back home from Chicago! After close to 1,000 miles of driving I consistently saw about 19-20MPG when cruising on the highway (70-75MPH @ 2,600-2,800RPM's with the Spec B gears), but during the time spent in Chicago traffic I only got around 10MPG! My normal mix of daily driving is usually somewhere in the middle of that.
MPLS to Chicago and back on E85 wasn't an issue with a little planning. The car was on the full 30-31psi (close to 600WHP) tune the entire time. At a steady cruise I think it could get close to 300 miles before being empty. Here are some shots from after 3/4 tank (11.6 gallons). E85 @ $3.50/gal was pretty typical for the trip.
