Why would that be bad? It's a car, you have to drive it. 2 hours straight really isn't a long time, nothing to worry about. Try driving for 16 hours straight, from virginia to florida :p

have you had your first oil change? If not that could be why it's seems "slow". The EP burns alot of oil when you first get it, I belive they use some sort of "break-in" oil or some shit. I could be wrong but check your fluids once a week and get that oil changed if you havn't yet.

lol almost 2 hours straight. Dude I do that almost everyday. Try 7 hours straight from nothern California to southern California do'n 80-90 MPH in the SLOW lane on the interstate...I-5 is like the freak'n autobahn over here. People drive hella fast on it.

It probably feels slower cause you're just getting use to the car. Go drive a slower car for a few days then come back and drive your EP.

2 hours, that's it? :rolleyes:

Drive for 14 straight and I'll be impressed (Vegas to Colorado).

eh... i dont kno the area you talkin bout, but im guessin you drove freeway, right? if so, you should trip... stop n go traffic puts way more stress on your car than freeway ever will... i wouldn't mind drivin freeway only to break in my car if i could, and a lil streets to wear in the clutch, tranny, and brakes

Were you driving your bike, that should have only taken you about 5 hours.:)
