2200 miles ++
I'm at 2200 miles and lovin' every minute! Driving the 310 miles back and forth to the Bay Area is much nicer when you stop for 3-4 hours during the 6 hour drive to enjoy excellent food and sit by a nice fireplace while sipping a glass of wine!
The dogs have way more space in the S than they did in my former Rav4 and there were no problems whatsoever with the dogs in an S.
The only bad thing that happened.... ;<
We now have 4 racoons instead of chickens : (
a little strange and disappointing but interesting. Our oldest chicken showed up in our yard in 2006 - on Christmas. and she was eaten on Christmas (or very close to it) 6 years later :scared: . The other 3 chickens were younger by a few years. Our chicken coop had a mother coon (older) and 3 juvenile coons in the place of our chickens when we arrived home last night!
Coincidence? a little strange
I also saw my first Karma in person. does 'look' better in person but waaay small, spacewise.
I'm almost ready for another road trip ; >
12/30 took a couple of disc golfers for a 'ride' Veeery impressed. One of them knew a bit about the car and has been excited for a while, the other knew nothing (both of them are probably w/in the top 1000 disc golfers in the world, or better!). The one that knew about the car asked 'how fast is it at 0-60?' I had just stopped at a stop sign w/ no other cars around. I held up my 4 fingers, then floored it, it was perfect!! I also liked the question about the brakes, we were going 45-50ish and I checked to make sure no one was sitting wrong before trying to pull their eyes from their skulls :wink: fun, fun
1/2/13......Speeding Ticket... Ouch 45 in a 35mph zone! should help to lower my average Whr/mi.
No questions about the car. Lame. I should have said my DL was in the 'trunk' just to confuse the officer. He had no idea what it was and didn't care. No bondo or rust, it must just be a new car.
1/5/13 Collecting Jade and Agates at Stone lagoon
1/9/13 She finally got to have some snow play. hmm, where is that fuse?
Snow.. just floor it and steer. pretty neat. car just goes where you point it. try and get squirrelly and I think the fronts correct you
1/16/13
3300 miles
1/23/13
Down to the Bay area and home again, just shy of 4000 miles!
1 more factory tour :love: tires rotated
and new driver's door handle (of course it worked fine on the way down and when I took it in)
the 300 mile trip down took ~ 10 hrs (309.3 mi, 106.2 kWhr) but I managed to get back in about 8 hrs (310mi, 97.3 kWhr - tricky, tricky)
I think I can do it better but it is tough to drive slowww. however, I know it is faster when there is only 14-50's to use on the way + they are free regardless so I really don't care + I can't get a ticket like this!
I did use a lot more power in the last 55mi home due to 'plenty of it'!
(up to about the 80 on the x-axis it was ideal miles for SOC - i plan on converting it, someday)
She got her tramp stamp.
