Trip to Indian Wells
This weekend, I made my way out to the Indian Wells Tennis Center to watch some the world's best play. That meant clocking in ~280 miles roundtrip on the Genesis. As usual, the trip was comfortable and pleasant. Because the whole daylight savings, we were running a bit late. Let's just say I'm glad the CHP officers must have also felt the effects of the lost hour and decided not to show up on their sunday morning shifts. Yes, the ride is firm, but the car just seems to settle in as speeds increase and the trip was quick, quiet, and comfortable. The XM/iPod combo kept us entertained and my recently acquired tinted windows (30%) and power rear window shade kept things cool even with the desert sun beating down. Despite the somewhat hilly terrain and the... um... motivated driving, the trip computer was also showing 25 mpg average. All in all, the drive was pretty enjoyable and well worth it to watch some of the favorite players all day long.
