Next month my wife and I are moving from Boston, MA to Tempe, AZ (near Phoenix, AZ). In june we drove out there in the E to find an apartment. We left Boston with 1001 miles on the E and returned a month later with 10253.

While on our trip we kept track of every E we saw, where we saw it, and when. It'll be interesting to see if we passed anyone who particpates in this board.

this is very cool- almost like an E scavenger hunt

mine is not the chicago GG you saw. i'm surprised you saw only 1- there are quite a few around!

Yeah, we were surprised too, and it wasn't like we just drove through. I grew up in Chicago and have family and friends there so we stayed for 2 days while I drove around and showed my wife where I spent my childhood.

I drove mine new E on an 8000 mile trip from Atlanta to Portland (ore) to northernmost Vermont in May and June, avoiding Interstates, and saw exactly 3 other Elements on the road, counting the one that parked next to me at a Mt Ranier visitor center. They must all be on the Interstates.
