Driving our new find home ...

Submitted by kpatrickwheeler on Thu, 01/15/2009 - 12:36

We exchanged emails with the owner through the week and met again as soon as the check cleared in the same parking lot of Home Depot in Foster City California. Weyman and Karen took it out driving so that Karen could get used to the car. After a turn or two around Foster City and a few more pieces of paperwork it was time to take the car home to its new home north of San Francisco. Karen drove it up Highway 101 into some nasty San Francisco traffic and north out of the City. The car handled well but being new to this much power, this short of a wheelbase, and this responsive of handling in an unfamiliar car in nasty traffic required a lot of concentration. By the time she pulled into the driveway she had a death grip on the steering wheel and the leather grip was infused with a paper napkin she had tried to use to control the moisture. But her new car was home and ready for a new stage in its life with a second family.
