Well, today (Wed.) about noonish, it's off to Greenville, S.C. to interview a couple of realtors and buyer agents to find one to engage their services in our hunt for a house...plus, to check out a few more neighborhoods and schools...It's about an 8 hour trip from here, mostly down I-81 through VA, then I-77 to Charlotte, NC, then I-85 into Greenville. The worst part is I-81...lots and lots of truck traffic.
Last time we were in Greenville last June, there was a BMW hybrid prototype at the hotel. As you may or may not know, BMW's North American plant is about 10 miles outside of Greenville. We were going to try for a plant tour, but it's shut down for the Easter break.
I believe it is a BMW X6. The regular car sells for $60,000.00 The hybrid goes for $80,000.00....just to get 20% better gas mileage from a 400+ HP engine. I tried to be out there when the driver came out, but I kept missing him!
It's a really nice looking car, inside and out. I'd love to be able to afford one.
You can see the right front corner of my Edge in the first picture.




Right across the street from the hotel was the North American headquarters of Michelin.
