Life Just got home (STL) from Indy after a 10 hour drive

**RockChalk** · 01-07-2014, 08:55 AM

Drove back from StL on Sunday. We left around 11am and averaged around 55mph until we got about 40 miles outside of Columbia. That's when the shitty Hyundia Tuscon rental we had decided to blow it's transmission. We were able to manually shift it into gear, but couldn't get it above 2K RPMs or above 40mph.

We were lucky that the car even was able to limp in to the Enterprise out at the CoMo airport and even more lucky that they were open. They switched us to a Tahoe and 70 was in pretty good shape once you got west of Columbia.

After the car troubles, took us about 7 hours total to get from StL to KC
