Michigan Roll Call

Re: Michigan Roll Call
Welcome to our little club Mike! And a real close one to me I'm guessing. (I live in Warren, near 12 and Ryan.)
I've been meaning to get down and drive the '08 FEH, so all of us with the older models can get a feel for how differently she performs. I just recently heard that there's no need to double tap with the '08. Any words on that?

Re: Michigan Roll Call
OK, I'll check in. Didn't realize there was a forum for it...
I've had an '05 Ford Escape Hybrid since the day they started delivering them to Mid-Michigan. Bought it in Chelsea, live in Stockbridge (quick, find it on a map!!!), work in Lansing. See a grey FEH with a 'LTLFROG' license plate and that is me. Honk or something.
Also a semi-professional orchid grower, so I load up the little Escape with orchids all the time. Main reason I bought the Escape, the Prius would have been too small.

Re: Michigan Roll Call
Hello Michiganders,
For those interested, we could always use this if nothing else to meet up with one another, and maybe meet some new people:
I did the cruise with them 2 years ago, but wasn't able to go last year.
Also, since we're in June, the weather is warm and the MPGs are up, anyone have any thoughts on a Michigan Hybrid Club Group Meeting?

Re: Michigan Roll Call
i'm interested, but that's too far ahead for my brain to think at the moment i am liking the warmer weather tho...my current tank is averaging almost 35 MPG.

Heh, maybe. I saw a woman in a FEH, not that long ago (3-4 weeks?). On Mound, traveling South, I was next to/behind her from about 15 Mile on South until I turned at 12 Mile, but she didn't. It was green, with the appearance packaged. Pre-2007 FEH. I saw her again on 13 Mile, between Dequindre and Ryan, as I recall.
She was driving pretty well, hypermiling probably, as she wasn't going much faster than I was.
Ah, bestill my heart, a pretty lady in a FEH!
Anywho, to the rest of you, what say you?
*Knocks on screen* Hello, hello? Anyone there? Roger me, Wilco me, anything, hello hello!

Re: Michigan Roll Call
So you want me to go to the Woodward Dream Cruise so I can get yelled at and flipped off by people who refuse to accept our energy consumption problem while celebrating ancient, overweight, overpowered, poor handling, gas glutton muscle cars which are more about stroking one's ego than anything else? No thanks.
I'll admit it was mostly ridiculing and whatnot, but that was 2 years ago. I'm sure attitudes have changed since then... LOL, yeah right. Besides, how do I know, maybe most of you are members and were planning on showing up? I just put it out there just in case.

Your best bet to ever see me is between John R and Gratiot, 11 mile to Hall (20 mile), that's about 99% of where I go. Mine's dark shadow gray, GH license plate frame on a bridge plate, no roof rack, and I've got a beard. If the FEH you see meets all those criteria, it just may be me.
I also occasionally make it out to weekends to the Henry Ford and Greenfield Village.
Anyway, if any of you are heading out to hybridfest, see you there. If not, let's talk about an August get together, eh? There seems to be enough of us, we should form a club anyway.
