    Thanks. I wanted a blizzard pearl the first go around but I got such a good deal on my Barcelona red I couldn't pass it up.

    This one also has a dark gray interior, in excited to get away from beige.

    I'll snap some pics tomorrow probably. I don't think I'll be home until about 11-12 tonight. It's about a 9 hour drive home for me.

    The worst part is that I was just 3 hours from this dealership on Thursday.

    Returned my Lincoln rental this morning.

    1674 miles
    22.2mpg true calculation on fuelly.
    Ouch!

    What city did you buy it at? I recall you were somewhere near us in Cinci last week. We are back home for Sunday then heading out for the week...

    I picked it up in Raytown MO. Just got back, took 9 hours. I'm exhausted.

    Last week I was all over IL, MO and IA. It was a long week. These 600 miles didn't help.

    Where do you stay in Cedar Rapids? I've been there twice this week now. They have a really nice Fairfield, brand new and much nicer than most.

    Ever been to TJ's steakhouse there?

    What do you people do for a living to get that much travel time?

    I'm am account manager and have 43 clients in IL, MI, IA and MO. I usually travel about every other week. My closest visit is in Chicago 80 miles away. The nice thing is my most concentrated area is the Chicagoland area so I can go back and forth daily and still be home.

    We stay at the Homewood Suites. Never been to that steak house :( We like to go to Bandana's BBQ in Corralville down by I-80/I-380.

    My wife is a banker and has meetings all over the country. I like to drive her to meetings that are within a 15 hour drive from home. We are in Ohio right now :)
