First Road Trip

Just took the 8 on it's first road trip. I took it into the rockies. It was the most fun taken 15mph turns at 40mph. I was passing everything in my path. Glad there were no cops around. Put 700 miles on it one weekend. I avg 24 mpg the whole trip. I will post some pictures from the trip.

Did you find the seats very comfortable over the time? There are times when I drive for over an hour and my lower back hurts. I keep trying different seat adjustments but it doesn't seem to help (and no I don't feel the bar across my lower back... ). If I'm in the care more than two hours I need to get out and stretch just to give my back a break. Adjusting the lumbar and seat bottom (front up/down) while driving does help, but it's a temp fix so it seems.

It could just be my back though.
