My first trip in a 96 ‹(•¿•)›

I hit the road earlier today (Sunday) from Apex, NC (Raleigh area) and headed to Atlanta, GA. Now this isn't a very long trip (about 6 hours), but it still was my first actual trip in my beloved 1972 96 V4. I gotta say, I was impressed in how the car performed. When that little V4 winds up to over 4k rpm and about 75 mph, it is like racing for 6 hours. Man, am I tired from racing all day! Yea, it doesn't take the bumps like my 900's, and yes, it is much louder too (although it get much quieter above about 72 mph), but what a fun drive! Even though it doesn't have the raw horsepower that american v8's had back in 1972, this car is extremely tight in the way it feels and handles, and I so much prefer it. What a blast! Over 35 mpg too! I can't wait to drive it again. I can't seem to stop driving this car. Is this a known illness? Is anyone else taking trips on a regular basis in their 96s?
