Just handed the keys and car to GBA and his lovely wife. Really nice people! After a very efficient exchange, they were on their way!

 They have a teeny road ahead of them, so I was glad they were able to be on their way home without delay. Am curious what his L/100km will be for this journey!

Also, I deliberately left the car in EV ECO mode to see if his life felt threatened! LOL 😆

Safe travels GBA! Enjoy the trip, hope the weather is decent.

A pic of a misanthrope and a borderline autistic fellow (or so my spouse tells me).

We made it to the Sault today.  No problems.  Eco mode didn't try to kill me.

4.6l/100km between Burlington and The Soo despite having a depleted battery when starting out (charger at the hotel was bogarted by a Fusion Energi)

Have a good drive! Eco mode will only try to kill you if it has a sure shot at it  ;D

Where's Waldo update: just texted him on his progress and he's in White River taking a break and stuffing his pie hole!

We stopped in Thunder Bay for the night.  We are splitting the drive into manageable eight hour stretches, in order to enjoy the trip.

Here's the car in front of an iconic monument.



Winnipeg is eight hours away, so we'll be home tomorrow.  Well just miss a mega snowstorm that's going to hit Winnipeg Tuesday night.
