Kia Rio Road Trip, Anyone?

Let's Hit the Road!!!!

I love nothing more than a good road trip and the challenge of a scavenger hunt. For me it’s not just about the final destination, but the journey itself.
When I heard about the Zip and Dash geocache challenge to Los Angeles in the 2012 Kia Rio 5-door Rio Explorer Page--- I wanted to know more! (And I want to go!)

Picture this: You’re on a scavenger hunt accompanied by your best friend. Your challenge is to discover landmarks in L.A. and find hidden clues.  You embark on your adventure in a sleek high tech, yet user friendly vehicle. The prize? Meeting a HOLLYWOOD celebrity!
Your mission:  Along the way you must visit 5 locations:

  • The Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round--a historic landmark in L.A. that has been running since 1937!
  • Amoeba Records--one of the most popular historic music stores in L.A. where you can still find rare vinyl, CDs, tapes and music, even catch a live show!
  • Rodeo Drive--(shopping, anyone?) One of the most expensive, swanky, upscale destinations in the world.
  • Pinks Hot Dogs--An L.A. favorite serving hot dogs named after Hollywood Celebrities (why not?)
  • The Roosevelt Hotel--Smack dab in the middle of Hollywood Blvd where all the action is.

Kia has sent two pairs of best friends on the challenge and the best part is they get to utilize the car’s awesome features to make their way through L.A. in search of Christina Milian!  Imagine having these great features at your fingertips:

The latest Bluetooth system, an innovative USB input jack, navigation, rear camera display, and the UVO voice powered commands powered by Microsoft!

I think my favorite feature has to be the UVO Technology, which provides cutting edge technology that allows you to personalize your driving experience using the sound of your voice! 

The Kia Rio is not only a truly advance car with incredible features, but it’s ricicously safe (gotta love that, too.)

Watch this,  and you’ll see what I mean! Check it out and let me know what you think!


Now, if I could take this Zip and Dash challenge anywhere? L.A. would be awesome, but how about Chicago? Or San Francisco? New Orleans? The possiblities are endless!

Road trip anyone?
