Well we pulled a 1300 mile all nighter but the Roadmaster took it in stride, now it’s enjoying the 95+ degree heatwithout the temp gauge even flinching

Pretty impressive considering I’ve paid more for a set of tires than I did for this car...

Excellent. Always loved the Roadmaster. More updates always welcomed.

Any plans for it it? Exhaust, supercharger, nitrous? Whatcha’ got?

Actually, let’s compare the Roadmaster’s dimensions to that of the outgoing E170 Corolla , which is extremely common and a “compact” by today’s standards.

Roadmaster:

Length: 217.5"

Width: 79.9"

Corolla:

Length: 182.6"

Width: 69.9"

The Roadmaster has a larger footprint in both dimensions, but it’s actually not that much bigger. Only 5 inches wider on each side. Conclusion: that parking spot should be for normal, not compact cars.

That five inches makes a difference.

Current plans are really just hoping it makes the 1300 miles back and then driving  it in the winter

Well, that’s good too. But winter and nitrous - it’s a winning combo!
