This past weekend, I drove the family (...and my daughter's boyfriend) to Sea World in San Diego. It was a 300 mile round trip, but it was a fun excursion. Actually, the furthest I've driven the AT4 to date. As expected, I got a lot of looks because of the off-road wheels, but I was enjoying the drive so much that I didn't care people were trying to catch up to me. L.A. was expecting some lite drizzling, but it never happened. And of course I washed my AT4 the day before to make it look pretty on the way to San Diego. But as it turned out, it did sprinkle a little bit on the way which made it dirty... But to be honest, I really don't mind it being dirty for once. I've spent so many hours each week focusing on keeping it spotless since I bought it 6 months ago, that now, I feel that it's okay to let the AT4 be dirty for a week or so.
