Default Drove to Lake Tahoe
Had a great ride up Hwy 88 to Tahoe and down Kingsbury grade to Reno and back home. What a blast to drive this car. It gave me a chance to tinker with the magnetic ride and averaged 26 mpg from 7000 ft to sea level.

Agree. I drive to Tahoe every September for the Reno Air Races. I take 89 just before Topaz Lake off the 395 and then hit the 50 just south of Lake Tahoe. Such a great drive! On the way home I take the Kingsbury Grade to Minden and the 395.
