The first leg of the trip was 357 miles from Brentwood, CA to Santa Barbara, CA. Except for oil burning off the top of the left valve cover (I spilled some a few days prior when re-filling the crankcase), the trip was entirely smooth.
From there, it was 100 miles to Arleta, CA to stay with parents. Again, no issues.

Spent some of the weekend tearing apart Dad's Honda (a change from the norm, right?) instead of the Mustang -- and even transported the parents to their anniversary dinner in the Mustang.
Grand total driving both ways plus around Los Angeles: 859 miles. No issues.

New Adventures in Hi-Fi (sorry, R.E.M.)
There comes a time in every love affair where the relationship is taken to the next level. This is such a time. Those of you that have been with us for awhile know that we've never ventured out of the Bay Area but only once in early 2006 on a therapeutic mission to satisfy my troubled soul to Los Angeles and back.
Fast forward to 2010, we're doing it again this time with more confidence, a better sound system, better brakes...but sadly the soul is once again troubled.
The trip is going to be optimized for scenery and driving enjoyment (at least on the way down) versus speed of travel.
Stay tuned for details (as there will be many, I'm sure). Off to go make a roadside toolkit.
