Car is here
My car arrived at the dealer today. I got the call!!! Woo Hoo. Now I need to decide if I am going to have it shipped to Miami or I am going to fly up on Friday night and drive it down. What are everyone's thoughts? The break in period would be over by the time...... Is this a good idea?

Drive it.
Last time I shipped a car, it arrived a couple of days late ... no big deal.
A few weeks later as I was waxing it, I noticed that a paint imperfection in the hood had mysteriously disappeared. Looking under the hood, you could see that it had been painted. The carrier said "no way".
Then the internal debate, do I believe them or my lying eyes?
Drive it and hammer it, especially if you leased it.

I can pick it up on Friday. Can you say "road trip?"
