As long as you're fine drinking with a few 29 year old. Just give me a date and we will make the drive!

however, on the bright side of things.. I got teflon tape on all the bleeder screws, I put 15 psi of air in the system, it held it pretty well (about 93%).. I ordered 3 bottles of RBF600, I'll have to start over and get all the sketchy fluid thats in the master cylinder out, hopefully I'll be good to go in a few days.

If you never think about the Blue Ridge Parkway. To do the whole thing will take you 2 days from end to end. Speed limit is 35 to 45 mph. If no traffic, pedal down. Traffic, it lives up to it's name, Parkway. Campers and sightseers. But it's a nice drive. Great views.

How were they bad you ask?

Well, I poured a little bit into the master cylinder, and saw the fluid to be damn near clear as water.. I guess I had the bottles for so long, the fluid went bad. So now I gotta order more which means, the car will be down for a few more days.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic. It will suck moisture out of the air. An open sealed bottle is good for no more then 6 months. Unopened bottles. I wouldn't trust over a year.

EW, bleed your brakes a couple of times. Then after a month. Get the brakes real hot, like when you are bedding the pads in. After you do that. Bleed them again. This should take care of any remaining moisture in the system.
