On a positive note, in a couple weeks I will be on a ~800-1000 mile road trip, away from the rat race, it should be a relaxing drive, as the Bluetec is made for such driving.
Then we entered the dust bowl:
Then it cleared out nicely:
The nice desolate scenery on I82:
Entering the Kittitas Valley:
Mirror-like surface of the Columbia, it had whitecaps on Saturday:
The lack of traffic on 90 nice, passing a truck is as busy as it gets:
At left, some planes, I assume military, doing exercises along I90:
More to come as I clean out the cards.
Some snow on the higher points around Snoqualmie:
Rush hour in the Columbia Basin:
We drove up 17 to 97 on our way home with the 2013 Forester on June 9th, and we passed through there fairly early in the morning (about 9am). The weather was perfect and traffic was light.
You're probably acquainted with this exact location....

There are going to be a lot of new pool installations.

A couple of decades ago, I drove my van for more than 1,200 miles to Alaska with a severe brake system problem. All told, I don't think other users around me were at any more risk than they are at any other time they might be on the road.
I suspect when you drove with a braking issue, you didn't speed either, not to mention AK traffic density is a bit different than the trucking zoo around Tacoma
Ages ago when I was a student, the fintail had a brake system fault (small leak), and I drove it home, as I was in a small town that didn't have a place to repair it. I was very careful, and drove at non-peak hours. Made it back in one piece, but I don't think I would do that again.

The Q7 is 5500# unladen; as with yours, onboard cargo or passengers has no appreciable impact on the economy.
A couple scenes from today - a view on the Binnenalster, and the architectural landmark Chilehaus:
Is that a storm brewing, or just night closing in on an overcast sky?
Castle and Charles Bridge:
And the castle at sunset:
Baby van struck the rear quarter of the MB. MB had light damage and was likely able to be driven, van front fender exploded. Cop was on the scene in maybe 20 seconds - big police presence in Vienna today, always makes me wonder if some bad chatter is in the air.

Debadged MB C216 (prior S-class coupe, this is a 2011-13 model) with a very nice number sequence, you don't get something like that by accident. Maybe a nice car for comfortable trips, while being old enough to keep just under the radar
