Heh. Reminds me of a Barenaked Ladies song.

I just came back from an overnight trip to Yosemite. Definitely still loving the car. If I had a complaint from this first road trip, it'd be that I didn't get close to the advertised 32mpg highway. Best I got was about 28, which is still good, but not 32. All the other features I'm happy about cancel that one out, though.

On another good note, the future iPod hookup I had included in the original purchase price has been installed, and it's actually a lot cooler than what I was expecting. I was expecting just a standard Aux input jack, but instead got a third party "iPod Integration Unit" (link) that charges the iPod and gives me control of the iPod through my stereo/steering wheel controls (can ffwd,rew, back, next, and have it go back or to the next playlist or album). Plus the cord comes out through the ashtray, which is big enough to fit my connected iPod mini inside with the tray's door closed, so I get all my favorite tunes without any wires or iPod showing. Nice!
