If it isn't a hassle, yeah. Then I can ride with whoever once we get to the mall.

We want to double check this because the RMNP website doesn't say any thing about it being closed. It might only be the summit that's closed.

Default First impression

Back from Ohio and still getting used to my toaster. First good news is that none of my older relatives in Illinois seemed to like it. Even my sister in law called it a "Banana Box". Second, I got back into my '96 Outback and was shocked at how old and tired it feels next to the xB.

Averaged 29.9 mpg for Columbus to Illinois section where the speeds are about 65mph. From Illinois to home, 27mpg at 70 to 75mph. Only picked up about a zillion rock chips as a windstorm stalked us a good portion of the trip.

After reading all of the complaints about the second gen. xB, they seem exaggerated to me. Dash doesn't feel huge, blind spot is minor, doesn't lean that bad! It is really noisy on the highway and basically gave up on trying to listen to the stereo. Could be the mostly worn Toyo Proxes 4s.

Also, thanks Shadezz for the offer on your wheels/tires but I'm still deciding on what direction to go with mods.

I have caught myself turning back to look at the Toaster after parking it. To me, that's a very good sign and a feeling that I haven't experienced in years.
