Stephen, why do you have to drive on a expressway, why do you have to drive
at high speed, if you can test drive the car around the block, or in the
sellers neighborhood, then drive the car home, 3 years ago I bought a car
sight unseen from Bob Kamholtz, flew into Indianoplis, Ind. and drove the
car 750 miles home without even a test drive, if you feel unsafe to drive it
home, ask the seller to deliver it to you, 200 miles is a good chance to
find out what the car may need down the road. Have faith in the car. First
lesson I ever had in golf, the pro said always take out your most expensive
ball at a water hole, that way you will be sure to drive it over, a water
ball always ends up in the water, start out with a positive attitude and
have a great day. "FT"
