  1. Love whole foods. When we go to Houston we make it a point to stop.
  2. A hybrid is perfect for me. I like to zip around but I don't drive fast and brake hard. Opposites attract! I ask my husband how does he make it to work without me in the truck?! Several near misses ack!!
  3. My dad and I talked about this. He dropped my mom off at the dentist and stayed in the car to play with the radio. He turned the car off after mom got out. He commented how long the radio played. If you open the door it kills the battery but staying in the car it stays on for a long time. I noticed this after getting gas for my trip. I turned off the car and played with the nav. I Remember thinking it sure stayed on a long time. I finished setting the destination and opened the door and it cut off I had turned on the interior light after turning the car off because I needed to read the address to set in the nav. I forgot to turn it off when I exited the car. Hubby said it was still on. I went to the car, turned off the interior dome light and walked off. Hubby said it was still on. I went back outside and turned it off again. We waited. Still in. I started the car, turned off the dome light. Once it was off I turned off the car.
  4. Hahahaha. This made me giggle. My husband has yet to drive Rainette. I wanted him to at first but now .... Not so much! Sitting in the drive thru for Chinese just now I was cringing. My stats go from great to okay.
  5. We need bumper stickers with the forum address
  6. Off to pick up pics from Walgreens. It's baby girl's prom. She goes to a very small school. I think there are 47 or so in her graduating class. Love the app to upload pics from my phone. I will try my shades from my Tahoe. Probably will be too small. http://m.flickr.com/#/photos/93484805@N07/8520248118/
  7. Ugh. I hate the windows down. No girl wants stray hairs sticking to her lip gloss. Hahahaha I ride with the vent on most of the time. I bought super jumbo shades at Walmart. They work but boy are they big.
  8. OMG! I would be furious too. Ugh. You poor thing. My heart goes out to you. That's way too soon to get a ding. :(
  9. Wow. My cmax came with rubber mats also. Black. Oh well. They were free! I am all over that.
  10. I haven't seen any others and nobody has asked besides the people at work. I am waiting patiently.
  11. I got lucky and someone had slipped cmax mats in my car. I didn't order them. You'd think the mat made for the cmax would cover that foot rest. I bought a clear mat at Walmart and used that. I don't use the foot rest anyway.
  12. Yup. I live outside the city and take the back country roads to work. Long roads, 45-55 mph, 3 stop signs and 4 red lights. It's about 7 miles one way and takes a few mins. I tried going thru town the other day. Good grief. The traffic was horrible and it took twice as long. So for me, it's not worth it to go a longer route to use more EV.
  13. Look at you! You have it all mapped out. It will be neat to see the changes. Psst, I love my ice storm <grin>
  14. Thanks for sharing and keep us update, please. This is my first Ford and it is reassuring to me that they stand behind their vehicles.
  15. That's great! That's awesome! Wow! I wanna join that club hahahaha
  16. Exactly. There are a lot of things other than the mpg that steered me towards the cmax.
  17. Well, it's a hybrid. So the car may be 39, but you toss in the electric and voila - bonus miles.
  18. We have a ford dealer in town but dad refuses to go there due to how he was treated in the past. They lost his title and tld him to go down to the DMV and get a new one. He explained he paid for one and THEY could apply for a lost title. They refused. After months of work on his part he found it. Anyway, he said when he bought his Edge they gave him the extenders and acted like they were giving him gold. They made a big deal about giving them to him and no, no they were bending over backwards. He was impressed. That was before lost title. We get the package from the other dealer that says no charge to customer hahahaha so, they really were not giving him anything with no charge. Hahahaha I just found it funny how they acted like they were giving him a pricey product.
  19. My wallet wasn't much lighter. :). We shopped at a consignment shop. Whoop whoop! I save money any way I can. Hence the splurge on my car! I worked hard for that baby. Anyone have a Platos Closet nearby? This one was loaded and organized. I bought leopard heels, black boots, two necklaces and several earrings. It was a quick shop but I do plan on going back. My coworker loved my car. She is a very tall woman and said it was very roomy and comfy. She LOVED the NAV. She told her hubby she wanted a new car just for the NAV. It was easy to use, quick to route and correct. I will play with the views. I did like how it told you the name of the road and gave a bonk noise when it was time to turn. It recalculated without saying the annoying "recalculating" and guided us to the nearest road to reconnect our route. The NAV screen showed the speed limit, estimated distance and estimated time of arrival. I was curious about what kind of mileage the car would get just using the ICE. I am happy to report it got 38mpg today with only 300 miles on the car! I drove the car like a regular car because I was in a strange town and had to really pay attention to the road leaving me unable to watch the EV. It was 46 degrees when I left this morning and 56 coming home. It was 164 miles round trip going 70 on the interstate We used the seat warmers and the fan. We talked on the car phone, used Bluetooth audio, Sirius and the radio. She saw quickly how the NAV screen populated itself and commented how smart the car was. She gushed over the color. Totally made my day.
  20. Yeah!!! Your baby was born! How exciting!! Congrats.
  21. Check daily. That's what I did. Well, I checked three times a day.
  22. Zip zap. We were shopping in no time flat. Ning bang it guided us home. Awesome!
