Enjoy the punch in the chest the GO pedal can bring!

Made it home to MN!! The flex did outstanding!! Not one problem. Coolant stayed at perfect temp, oil still looks good (changed it right before i left), got an average of about 22 mpg, total of about $200 in gas. Made the trip in about 25 hours. Happy to be with my family again!!

Glad you made it safe and sound without a hitch and truly was a good testing point for your Flex and especially NOT having to add any fluids is a great sign to say the least.  Z   :)
