Default how I spent 2 days last week (1306 miles in 1.5 days)

I drove this home from ABQ for a friend in need (he couldn't get any time off work so he flew me down, paid my expenses + a fee and all went well)

some photos en-route I just uploaded:

first gas up in ABQ (just put on his Illinois rear plate)



caddy ranch of course in Texas:







..and just for fun:



...stopped in here for a tasty buffalo burger:





...and let's not forget the ARCH:

sweet. I bet that was a fun drive. I've been driving around 300-700 miles per weekend just about every weekend for the past year. Long drives can be fun, but they get really old after a while...

I have to admit I wouldn't want to be a full-time driver but the change of scenery out west was nice and of course the nice car to drive helped!
