I make time fly by spacing out or day dreaming... It seems to make time go by way faster...

But I notice that I sometimes forget what day it is...

Question about your tow, did you notice any performance differences?

My performance did drop a little bit - combined average mileage dropped from 41 to 39, but acceleration rates didn't noticeably change. No problem going up/down hills (not that there are many hills of any significance along the eatern seaboard, between Florence SC and Norfolk...)
