Good deal Drew! Of course the car made it!
I remember feeling I had about an hour into my 1200 mile drive home
with my TR4. I was in the process of encountering a major summer
thunderstorm and had very nearly hydroplaned off the highway. I was
wondering what the heck I'd gotten myself into. :)
I made it half-way home that day and spent a couple of days with a
friend, then headed out for the final leg (and more thunderstorms).
When I reached home that evening, my family and neighbors all came out
to greet me and check out the car. I felt a little like Charles
Lindbergh after having crossed the Atlantic. <grin>
