Really, you put most of the so-called travellers here to shame. I'm just
amazed that your wife tolerated all of the driving? Did you let her driver
at all? I can't let my wife drive, she makes me too nervous and I can't
sleep because I'm too worried that I'm going to wake up as I'm flying
through the windshield because we just had a wreck.

Dude, you are truly a warrior!

Next time we go or at least one of the next times I want to drive it
straight, no motel for 1 night.

For Christmas we drove to Montreal and back for the day (about 120
miles each way) and it seemed like a trip around the block.

Oh ya the car is a 92 Toyota Corolla. Burned 1/5th of a quart each
way. Ran 5W-30 Castrol Syntec for the trip and changed oil in
Saltillo. Tried to change the filter too (I brought both the oil and
the filter with me, plus extra belts and hoses in case) but the
mechanic was scared to death of the filter. Seems its half the size
of most Mexican filters and he claimed he couldn't get it off. Rather
than screw anything up I agreed to leave the old one on and change
just the oil., Back home my mechanic got it off with his hand, no
wrench required.
