1650 miles completed problem free, heading back to NY in a day or 2, The weather in Texas is beautiful, a welcome break from the snow and freezing temps of NY.
Will update after my first 14 hrs of driving back

i actually did call a realtor about a house i saw there...way outta my price range though....i liked Dallas a lot...i'll be back.
did the first 900 miles of the journey back today so i've totaled about 2500 miles this week with 750 to go tomorrow.
Finally pulled into a motel at 11pm. The drive was fine and i only got pulled over by a cop once!...he said i didn't use a turn signal, i know for sure i did but decided not to argue the point...a losing battle for sure in TX with NY plates. So i played the dumb English tourist and apologized profusely, and he let me off with a warning, we chatted for a while and off i went.
When i pulled into the motel, the idle was a little rough, only slightly...but that is normal for this car 500 miles before it's due for new oil.

I have been keeping up with your story and am very happy to here that you made it in one piece to Texas and back. I am in Texas myself and I have relatives in Virginia, I feel inspired to go visit them. I only hope I could have as uneventful a trip as you did...
