Driving up the western states

[namja]

So... earlier today, I finally signed my contract for my 2019 GT2 AWD in Southern California. After about a year-and-a-half of obsession, and after about a week and a half of texting and negotiation and shopping around in both Seattle and Southern California. Seattle because I currently live there, and Southern California because I used to live there for about 10 years.

Drove down from Seattle Friday night with my old 2015 Corolla ( 1300 miles, roughly 25 hours with gas breaks, food breaks, two hours of napping at a rest stop)

I am now on my way back to do another 1,300 miles back home, nearly fresh off the lot, hopefully with no issues that we read a lot about here in this forum.

Catch me in the wild if you can!

Nice. Replacing a Corolla I see. I’ll go out on a limb and state that you will enjoy this one more.

Nice. Looks like you were able to catch the dealership before they drilled into your front bumper. Congratulations

Congrats! The drive back should be much more enjoyable, sit back in those comfortable seats and enjoy the power.

Congratulations! That's one heck of an upgrade!

Panthera Metal. Very nice. Send us a better pic, soon! (edit: Nope, Black on black, heh! Looked at your signature after I said that: the "quality" of your first pic is not the best - I repeat myself in so many words.)

Holy cow, I was so focused on the deal and issues stated on this forum that I totally disregarded that!
