russian rocket Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Well I am finally home from my trip. After working a 12 hour night shift, I got off at 430 am Friday, woke up my amazing wife and had her take me straight to the airport. I landed in Providence, Rhode Island at 1045am. After looking over and test driving the car, I knew it was for me, so I bought it and at 3pm I started my long drive home. Ran into some stand still traffic in New York and some slick/ snowy roads in Pennsylvania. At around midnight I figured it was time for a small power nap, 40 hours with no sleep is an interesting experience. It's not necessarily that you are tired but your body starts feeling weird. After waking up i finally finished the long drive home and couldn't be any happier. It was all worth it! http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_121611_zpsu65dedbf.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_121618_zpsyhunfbzk.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_122017_zps9hsmo8ir.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_122045_zps29hjafpe.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b331/kliped/Mobile%20Uploads/20161231_122052_zps4pcpugnx.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was looking and bought out of state I had to explain to people that I wasn't looking for a car I was looking "the car" and being it's my money I have a right to be ultra picky Great find!

Doc1647545523 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 Congrats on your purchase. Definitely a good choice for your winter beater, as the dried road salt spray will hardly show on that color. And I wouldn't let anyone give you grief over your preference for an automatic. Thinking like yours will definitely help you make a smooth transition to self driving cars in the near future and on to a network of 100% transportation pods on a grid shortly thereafter. :thumbup: You're just way ahead of most of us.

I'm in a hunt for a cts-v wagon myself. you missed out on a 2011 thunder grey wagon that was for sale in Columbus a month or so ago. it had only like 34k miles and the guy only wanted 35k for it. he had it sold before i could get my finances together.
