That too. If you google Champlain Bridge Montreal you would know what it does.

Anyways, we have a bridge that risk falling anytime now. lol

There is something going on (coincidence ?) with me and the time frame 7 weeks. I drove across the I-35 bridge over the Mississippi River in Minnesota, in my blue Yaris, 7 weeks before it collapsed on August 1st, 2007. I also stopped, 7 weeks before the incident...and also in my blue Yaris, at the Safeway (on my way from my hotel to the Apple store) in the small shopping center where Rep. Gabby Giffords and others were shot in Tucson, AZ on January 8th, 2011.

Give us an itenerary of where you have been, and I think we'll stay the next state over 7 weeks later :D

P.S. As of now, I'm only planning one more long distance trip in my blue Yaris...to NJ/NYC again. Some places are better reached by car (Montauk, North Fork, plus some places along the Hudson)....and last week I heard about a parking lot adjacent to Newark Penn Station where you can park for the whole day for $5. Blue Yaris = less likely to get stolen from that lot.
