48 States in an 84 Scirocco
Met up with meanvw to have lunch. Had THE CHEEF - it was HUGE. Then we went to the Jelly Belly warehouse. There was a “factory tour” - but it was really just riding around in the warehouse looking at TVs. But you can buy a bag full of ONLY RED JELLYBEANS!!! Muahhahaa, what could be more awesome!!
Then I fought Chicago traffic. Got on the Tri-State Tollway. It aparantly accepts PA Turnpike EZ-Pass - so I flew on through after the tollbooth lady said “YOU GOT I-PASS - GO GO GO!!!”
Today I visited Microsoft for the Streets and Trips team. They bought me lunch, and gave me the new version of Streets and Trips - the 2009 version. They also made me some “Powered by Streets and Trips 2009″ magnets for the sides of my car.
Cool!! The new version of Streets and Trips is really cool. It now reads the names of the streets you are on. It can trace the route you have been, so I’ll have a map of every place I drive from Redmond for the rest of the trip.
Here are the rest of the photos of the Highway, and the other Scirocco owners who met us at Neil’s place.
Thanks to Paul and his Wife for hosting me in Chandler, Arizona.
Paul is following me!
Did the state capitol in Phoenix, AZ
There’s a university of Phoenix here. Whoda thunk? 
Met Sciroccohal at Paul’s place. He has a very very nice and shiny Mk1 Scirocco. He showed me a cool modification to the heckblend on the rear of the car - 74 LEDs!
Well, I had this post all ready, but then Firefox crashed and I had to reinstall it to make it work again!
Anyway, passing through Oklahoma: Checotah - the home of Carrie Underwood of American Idol fame.
My estimated time of arrival in Dover, DE is 9:00 AM.
