HA HA HA HA I am laughing out loud here in my cubical and my coworkers are starting to wonder.

SomeBeach ( my new buddy ) I had a trip like yours. I had never even driven one (had only seen one go by me on the highway) and flew from Portland, Oregon, to Sacramento, CA, to pick mine up. What a drive home !!!

As soon as I got it, I took it to the mechanic in Sacramento and had all the fluids changed, new belt wiper blades, etc.. Then went straight to the tire store (Les Schwab - a huge tire retailer out here in the Northwest) and had the new 285/60 R18's put on and then headed north to home !!!!!

What a ride... It would have been faster to get the helicopter blades out and fly but, alas the designers failed me.
