Michigan: Some Pictures

While the car and some of our crew is in Melbourne doing wind tunnel testing, the rest of us have had a tad bit of down time here in Adelaide. I've finally gotten a chance to sift through the 800+ photos I've taken so far while here and have decided to share a glimpse of what I've captured.

Above: My first time driving on the other side of the car and on the other side of the road. To make things more difficult, it just had to be overcast and rainy.
