    First 1,000 mile roadtrip in the bag! Such a joy to drive. Friends commented that it was like being in Jurassic park...

    Los Angeles -> Mendocino, for reference

    The only issue was the AC started making a quiet squealing sound after it had been on for a couple hours. Turning it off for 15 mins and turning it back on fixed it
