Finally got settled up in NY, and now catching up.
Hey gang, I haven't had a chance to get on the site in a few weeks due to the move up to NY. For those that have been keeping tabs on facebook, I made it up here last thursday night, and it's great to be back. Now that I'm not living out of boxes and suitcases anymore, I finally had a moment to get back on the site and catch up with what's going on.
The car has been running great since getting it back from the body shop. The only thing we found wrong with it was a wheel was cracked and started slowly leaking air about 2 hours from my house as we came through Jersey. Now I'm just waiting for the insurance to authorize ordering the replacement, and I'm hoping they give the ok today.
And just to show how awesome these MDS Hemi's are - when I was driving up, my dad was following in his 2010 Ram towing a trailer. We averaged about 68 mph the entire trip up, and because of going 12 mph slower than I normally would have, I was able to get 29.5 mpg throughout the trip. By far the best mileage I've ever gotten with any vehicle except my old 4-banger Avenger (97).
Anyways, I've got some more unpacking to do, but I just wanted to check in and let everyone know I'm still alive lol.

Glad you made it up there safe. Sucks about the car but hopefully insurance will authorize the new wheel.
Keep us posted!!
