    Drove ~30 miles after min oil light came on.

    So, apparently my girlfriend forgot to tell me that the car was running on min oil, as she was driving and I was napping after I picked her up . I found out when I went back out to the car a few minutes ago, started it up, and saw the light. I inquired: "Oh yea, that came on like 40 minutes before we got home."

    Any serious cause for concern? I'm going to add a quart first thing in the morning. I'll admit it was still my mistake for not keeping an eye on it.

    These things are built with plenty of safety in them... don't worry about it.

    It took 40 minutes to drive 30 miles?

    Edit: Sorry....brainfart, don't know why but I was thinking 3 miles instead of 30. LOL...

    David, are you still sporting those wheels that you have in your signature? Very, very sharp with that color and blades.

    Yes, I am, and thank you for the compliment. I looked for aftermarket wheels for a VERY long time before finally seeing this model released on the ADV website. I'm very happy with the end result.
