Drove from home near Ann Arbor to Chicago (Lisle) yesterday, did a keynote at Lucent today, then drove home. Car was wonderful.
Traffic wasn't, on the way back. I 294 went dead stop. I got off on 80 west, over and down 57 or something, then across 30 for a while. Road was full of semis doing same thing. Then back up at the Indiana border and the road was thereafter.
I called TeleAid for route information, and the person wanted to route me down to I-70, which I think goes through San Antonio or something. I demurred and used a map. I tried the Traffic option but it turns out that only works if you kick in $200 something a year which I haven't done. This is the only time I've ever used the TeleAid except for setting it up, so I'm pretty sure it's not worth the $$ for that feature.
Anyway, the car was good, top up and top down, and no one stole it at the hotel. A little under 600 miles round trip, not too shabby.
