made an unplanned trip to motor city to get my car title. I met few of my friends. It was a 3 day trip covering 2200 miles alone for most part. I enjoyed the drive except when i felt sleepy. i was shocked to death when i saw my super hatch mazda 3's mileage. I filled tank at madison WI and started driving to Detroit MI. It was 480 miles and I could do away with only one tank of gas (11.2 gallons); calculates to almost 43 mpg. this was with ac on almost all the time and cruising at 65-75 mph. I was so happy but at the same time I have to sell it in another 2 weeks. not so easy; however, its raining small cars in india now and if i am lucky would buy a car in India, ofcourse on a loan;)
i am done with twin cities for now and am back at my friends place in madison, WI. Minneapolis is a great place except the winter time. this year it looks like its the only season all year long. Its only in 60's even in summer. bye bye 30 below windchill.
6 years of my life was spent in Detroit, lot of memories when i drove around Wayne State University campus. If only 6 years of life in Detroit had so much to think about, I am sure that my native place where i grew up for 23 years has much more for me. Eager to meet my school friends. Got in touch with one of my best school day friend recently. he runs a software company in Chennai. Great start given that i had lost touch with him for the past 19 years. Hope I will get a chance to meet them all.
