Spring break Road trip

Loaded lil Booger and headed to NYC, needed my Pizza fix and was curious how a loaded smart would do on the road. Stopped to to say hello and got my slice of pizza and then headed north to Yorktown and some free lodging with inlaws. Car ran like a top and I was all excited about getting the best numbers ever with all the smooth sailing we had. The crazy Yoon sisters departed the next day to NJ just across the river and now I know for sure that the panels under the metallic blue are black. NJ still uses insurance cards for proof of insurance in MA it is just a listing on your registration. An other immigrant that could not prove insurance... nobody hurt what can I do.
Oh says my lady I got gas and got a real deal they even pumped it for me, great do you have the receipt? I wrote down the mileage but payed cash...
The good news the car ran great. No matter what happens the thing makes me smile. The trip back had the car loaded to the max (guys never ask your better half how many pairs of shoes are required) and an 80 deg sunny day, The AC kept the cabin comfortable even in the rolling parking lot that I84 can turn into. The dash portions between got handled with out any fuss and I look forward to my own bed tonight. To the couple in the blue Yaris that decided to show us how fast there car was.. Traffic was moving at 70 + speed limit as low as 45 at times people passing me on both sides going 70 in a 50 zone. They had to be running at 80 + how worried are we about fuel economey...So far nothing broke on its own, knock on wood. Mileage best tank recorded 43.5. This keeps getting better
