I did Maine to California (round trip ) in a 1999 Mazda Protege (1.6L 4 cyl engine : about 105 hp!!! ) : NO issue whatsoever...and then, Orlando (fl) to Santa Barbara ( CA) twice ( in that same Mazda)
"go to recents...because the only thing i use this for is going to 260 Portofino Way!" hahah, that's funny right there. about the only thing a garmin is good for!
Did OH to SC and back in a 2019 Fiata. Very very cramped. Had to stop due to back pain and fuel constantly. With an additional fuel cell, it would work. Without additional fuel though, you're stopping every 250 miles. If you and your co driver are >6', it'd be torture. If you're
When CVT's are in question, *just say NO!* lol. Corolla is rated at 132hp and loses *42 HP* through drivetrain loss??! I know ALL vehicles have some drivetrain loss, Thats like a 30% difference though! 350hp dynoing 300 is expected (14-15% loss). 132hp coming in at 90 is sad.
Ed, I'm sorry I didn't hear about this event until this video. Let me know if there's a 55th anniversary event planned, I think I could get something together for that. Also let me know if there are going to be any interesting cars for sale at the Portofino inn. Good luck and Godspeed!
That was great to hear a prayer before a big event like this praise God that he lets us have enjoyment for things like this. Traveling mercies Ed be safe.
Thought I was gonna see ed blow out a knee. I also see some wise individuals in those 2 series volvos; best choice for likelihood of making it all the way.
having driven first time across Canada in a 4 spd 2 door Dodge Colt (56hp?) I envy these hp ratings lol Corolla will be excellent at adequate from my rental experiences.
NO, Ed. That corolla does 130hp COMBINED, so ICE + E-motor together. And that car does NOT have a CVT but an E-CVT which works using planetary gearsets. It's BOMBproof reliable driveline. It does 115mph (don't ask how i know) BTW a hybrid is not ideal for fast highway driving. Anything faster then 70mph and mileage will drop off strong. That Insight with Diesel swap has great potential
Genuine question, Where do I find out about this kind of shit coming up?? Forums? Fb groups? Any time I see any rally that my broke ass could actually enter, it's always after it's far too late
