Made
it to Nebraska yesterday (Sunday) after a visit with my
brother in Arkansas. No more problems after the hood latch
bar the car is running great.

Total miles 1770. Next stop will be this weekend in Omaha
for the Mopar event.

Thanks for all of the good words and support.

hope this is OK to change the subject but this will be my
adventures on the road.

First day only about 550 miles, I 'm not in a hurry.
Cruise control and A/C worked very well and were a big
help. Fuel mileage appears to be around 15.6 mpg but that
was just on two tanks.

When I mention adventure and road trip my wife finds other
things to do. This turned out to be a good choice time.
I noticed my hood was fluttering and thought I may not have
adjusted it as well as I could however it got worse.

In Lordsburg, NM I checked everything was tight then I saw
the broken bar the hood latches to when closed. I have
attached a couple of pictures but missed the best picture, I
did not take a good close picture of the ends of the
break. It looked like the bar had been broke for a very
long time with only about an eighth of an inch of good metal
that finally broke. I was very lucky the hood did not come
up, that would have been the end of the trip.

There is almost nothing left in Lordsburg. The Love's
Tire Care shop had a guy who would weld it if I took it
off. Not a perfect weld job but a GREAT job for me, I was
back on the road in less than an hour.

The bar is probably OK now and the hood latches but I'll
try to find a replacement after this trip.

Spending the night in Truth or Consequences, NM.
