Default BOUGHT IT AND DROVE BACK! 1999 C4

Thanks for all the input. Passed the PPI with flying colors and I'm back in Vermont today from Palm Beach. Fantastic car and fantastic drive. ZERO leaks, ZERO problems - just fantastic. Pictures of the trip shortly.

Yeah, I still get the urge to open the garage door to look at the car, even though it has been a few years now... my son worships my car. The other day I caught him stroking the wing and making "Oooo!" noises.

When you typed "... and drove back..." I thought for a moment
you meant back to the dealer * smiles *

Congrats!

Congratulations. I did something similar when I bought mine, although slightly shorter trip. Great way to get to know the new car.

What a great drive back after purchase. The drive back almost becomes a "proof of concept" exercise--proving that you're enjoying your decision. Hope it all works out long term.
