How are "firewalled" and "cruise" used in the same sentence? Cruise is at MOST 2500, probably less. I flew an Archer last weekend and it was painfully slow and wildly underpowered. Took me forever to get to 8.5k, and took an enormous takeoff roll for 2 pax and full tanks. We both are avid...

Very true, but a 182RG makes about the same burn as a 35 Bo, has the same useful load roughly but is 40kts slower. If it were 40 kts cheaper I'd be all for it but the fact that it's just about the same price makes it a poor choice IMHO

Under 90k. 10s are out as they easily reach up to 200k. I've been eyeing those closely.

Speed is a priority, especially considering the longer trips (500-1000nm). Even a 182RG is a bit on the slow end of the spectrum, especially for the price.

The wife and I are ready to purchase our first plane. We started out looking at RV7As but I quickly realized that isn't what she's interested in. She wants to travel, and yes the RV7A can do that, but not practically for a 1000 mile trip with luggage or a 500 mile trip with our dogs, so the Vans...

If you want to avoid near misses, keep an eye out for the little gray lines on sectionals labeled "VR ###". There have been a few times we've had close calls with some VFR traffic on those. When we're going 500 knots over the ground, we don't have much time to react to you.
