Highway trips & lessons learned

I brought the Subaru back to IL today. It ran fine, and I learned a few things.

1. I need a tire inflator. I stop to help people change flat tires. Most people never fill the spare tire with air. They're usually flat.

2. I need a prybar (small and cheap is fine) to separate wheels from their hangers (van-style spare tires) when they've been rusted together for years.

3. Less than 84HP flywheel is a far cry from the 150+HP flywheel or so I'm used to.

4. Merging into the left lane from being stopped on the shoulder in a low powered vehicle is nearly impossible to do without pissing people off.
