Viggen road trip success!!

Just wanted to give a little holiday cheer...
Just got back from a road trip leaving from Minneapolis to Red Lodge Montana and back again. We got some skiing done but the snow wasn't great, low snowfall this year. We are told it gets fantastic in late Feb. and March.
Viggen was incredible. I also recommend XM radio (borrowed a friends). No adds, reception everywhere, was great.
This car is really something - We were able to scoot up the 3 mile winding gravel road leading the the ski hill each day in true rally form. Only to be slowed down by the big SUV's :( Had ample room for 2 sets of ski's, all of our stuff, and 3 passengers (even though there were only 2 of us).
Overall we averaged 30.5 MPG. We felt that was pretty good since it's real tough to stay off the gas :) Most cruising was between 75-80.
I can't say enough about the seats in the Viggens. They are truely something. We could take 4 hour shifts no problems without even moving around. Get out at the gas stations and we weren't stiff at all!

'00 Viggen 'BLULTNG' no mods, 64k.
P.S. Sorry to the guy in the brand new Dodge Charger R/T just outside Billings MT, next time I'll let you get a lead. After all you do have a Hemi! (stayed just even with a guy in a 350HP charger all the way to "well above posted speed limits." Made me feel pretty good to have half the cylinders and get 10MPG better while keeping the same speed!)
