The last one I kept and just put it in the trunk.
I had gotten a free scissors-type jack from HellsBells - thank you Billy! - I have a 4-way lug wrench and now a spare.
Bring on the care-free road trips!
I was contemplating just getting a cheapo from somewhere. There has to be a place to get a cheap "just in case" spare tire.

Drove it....(the '11)....after a jump for a dead battery. Visited my local dealer and got a new battery for no cost due to low cranking amps. Also had them re-balance the tires from when the replacement rims were installed in April. All is well now.....

Ran from rain today.....I'm proud to say that my car at 18,000 has never see rain. It's going to be tough come rain season, but I plan on driving something off my lot so I can keep her in the garage! Can't wait to officially have an actually garage queen!

Turned 10,000 miles today on the way home on the last day of an eight day road trip. I've had the car for just under 6 months and it has been on two road trips of almost 2,000 miles and two round trips to Grants Pass, OR at about 750 miles each. As you can see from the display, I was getting over 30 MPG at the time. The entire trip came in at 28.15 MPG. The car is great and I plan to write a six month review.



The prior day I saw this vintage squad car in southern Oregon.

Was that a V6 or a 5.0?

It's a 2014 V6 automatic premium convertible. I failed to mention that the first leg down I5 to southern Oregon was at 32 MPG. I did drive more for mileage, because we had plenty of time. However, I also drove for fun in the twisties in California and sprinted for home the last day in Washington.

That's good mileage. By the way, I like the color. It's similar to my 2013 red candy.
