Took the weekend to hit some KY backroads.

~4500 miles on the car pretrip, ~5500 now.

Some notes.

* Android auto is crap when signal is spotty. On several occasions it would disconnect entirely then reconnect. Don't think this was a heat issue as it was fine on the interstates.

Sway bars are a must at higher speeds. Sweepers at 80+ are just not all that confidence inspiring. On the tighter stuff the car did quite well. Tighter = 35-55mph, 3rd, 4th, 5th gear as needed. I'll be rotating tires soon so will revisit the rear driver side.

My pace is not balls out in the corners, rather, a healthy spirited speed while still being in control and staying on my side of the yellow line w/out crossing over. The as4's did quite well. Got to pace some locals were really hauling... Surprised they didn't lose their trailer on one of the corners. It rained earlier, roads were damp, didn't want to push it too much.

MPG was great.

Somewhere along US52 in north eastern IN. Speed limit where he's sitting is 45 mph. Lazy cop too. My detector going off for a good 1/4 mi or more.
