    You came through Columbus a few weeks too early, it was 80 here the other day
    Would have been awesome too see another Prime on the roads here!

    Wow, what a pic. And you know the Gods would only be seen in a Prime.

    The Prime in Saguaro National Park in Tucson. Two flats since Delaware and that navigation has me alternately laughing and crying. But otherwise, the nicest car I have ever owned.

    Looks like a great trip. It is almost like we are there with you (except the Prime is a 4 seater). Are we there yet ???

    Home today. 5990 miles in three weeks. Two flat tires. Replaced one tire too damaged to fix. One cracked windshield. One rescue from a snow drift on top of a mountain in an unpredicted blowing snow white-out in Carson National Forest. Few chances to plug in but I took 'me where I could. Drove on some rough roads in Utah and, taking it nice and easy, made out just fine.

    I hate the navigation system. (The POI part is just awful.) I love the dynamic cruise control. It saved our butts during a full day of driving through heavy rain on I-40 in Tennessee. Heavy wet snow can disable the radar killing cruise control and lane departure. Low clearance of front end makes head-in parking a nail biter.
