MI C-max Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've been keeping my eyes peeled for other C-max vehicles near where I live in Monroe MI (a rural community about an hour south of Detroit MI, and just north of Toledo OH). I've had mine for about 6 weeks now, and I see a lot of people in store parking lots checking it out. A few have asked what kind of mileage I get and the obvious "Do you like it?" questions. I keep getting fooled thinking that new Escapes are C-maxes, but realize as they get close that they are not. Yesterday, while driving around town I spotted a white C-max heading in the opposite direction from me! I flashed my lights and gave the driver a thumbs up out of my window. She beeped and returned the thumbs up. Not 5 minutes later, on a different road ... a grey C-max heading the other way. Again I flashed the lights and gave a thumbs up out of the window - but only got a look like I was insane from the other driver. When I used to have my VW New Beetle, there was a "community greeting" among the drivers - we would flash our lights at each other. We need to develop a C-max community greeting - I'm hoping the thumbs up will catch on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adair Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I like it!! I'll start it between Milan and A2!! I was behind a black one in Saline today.....the first black one I've seen (that I was sure was a C-MAX). I tried waving, hoping he was looking in the rear view mirror, but no luck.

Jmonty Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've seen only a few around here. I actually parked next to one once, didn't see the driver though. One day I passed one on the way home, was an old lady driving lol Over the summer I took my Maxine to my little corner of Michigan, didn't see a single other one in over 3,000 miles of driving.

MI C-max Posted October 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2013 I saw a blue C-max in Monroe on Thursday ... that's now 4 different colored C-max vehicles (my red, white, grey and blue) that I've seen running around Monroe MI. Not bad for a county that only has 135,000 people in it! Adair 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
