  1. No, we are pretty much smack dab in the center of the State.. approximately 200 miles south of the Ga line and about 200 miles north of Miami. She did her Prius test drive at Toyota of Winter Haven,

    which is actually closer to Haines City and right off of Hwy 27. I have driven up and down that highway many times!

  2. There seems to be some confusion between the Intro-Tech Roll Up and the Intro-Tech Fold Up. ( Ultimate )  I like the way

    the Ultimate fits and who knows, maybe my Wife would have been ok with that one?? At this point, I just want to get her

    back in the habit of using a sunshade like she used to in her old car! :rockon:

  3. I have never been a "Prius Person" and I pretty much had to be dragged in kicking and screaming to go "Hybrid Hunting"!  I was sick of the high gas prices and having to pay for Premium Gas for my Wife's high performance car. I would love to go

    all electric and not have to buy gas at all but there isn't an electric vehicle out there yet that would meet our needs at an affordable price!  Maybe Tesla will have the answer when their Model 3 comes out in 2017??

  4. One thing I knew for sure when my Wife started wanting a hybrid was that it wasn't going to be a Prius!!! I wanted to wait and go all electric, maybe when

    Tesla comes out with something affordable!! She kept pressing and guess who won! lol  She keeps asking me why I joined a C-Max Club since this is

    her Car and NOT mine!!! lol :rockon:

  5. Still trying to get my Wife to at least try out the Pro Trim Sunblocker that I bought on Ebay. She tried it once, got frustrated and then gave up on it! From what I've seen on this thread it appears that the "ultimate" Intro-tech has the

    best fit. The only draw back is that it doesn't store away easily like the Walmart shades.

  6. Hey now, Florida is NOT all one big pancake!! lol Where I live there are plenty of hills! My Wife effectively tripled her mileage with the C-Max and she hasn't changed her driving habits at all. She gets about

    43 mpg on average. I manage to get 46 mpg on average using some of the so called tricks. I refer to it as "common sense" driving.

  7. My Wife is spoiled rotten! lol For her Charger she had one that fit the windsheild perfectly without any external support and stored away between the passenger seat and console like you show in your pic! The

    KEY point is .. finding something that she will use!!! I think you have come up with the best solution I have seen so far! We will probably go with the Silver one as well.
