Monies have been paid and a flight with my 14 year old son booked tomorrow. This is not the 911 thread that I expected to be posting- but here we go! Hopefully to trailer photos posted tomorrow- but there is sure to be a gas station photo soon.

Ok I'm looking at a plane ticket and what? Worthless without pic's you should know that.

What = Suspense, building up for the VERY imminent reveal.
totally setting my alarm for 4PM. Fly and drive with teenage kid is a lifetime memory for both.
Flying to Charlotte? Need a local?
In reply to Dusterbd13-michael :
I didn't know you were in charlotte! I could have last week!
So far we have been in a train and by automobile- planes up next.
Apparently we're up to 800 gems in brawl stars as well- I'm not sure what that means- but it seems very positive.
Plane, train and automobile unlocked!
I miss delta already.
Following!
Nice! I did one of these with my daughter a few years ago. It was a great time.

This is way more fun than being on my own. My son hasn't flown since he was little. I fly a good bit for work and sometimes forget how neat it can be. It's been a blast.

Hoodie, hat low, general slouchyness. Yes, this is definitely a teenager pictured.
100 miles complete and I'm in love! Apparently the future was 2017!!
In reply to grover :
I love the black over tan.
In reply to Stampie :
This thing is wayyyyyyuu cooler than me. Better photos to come, but for now we're in Savannah. Gotta get my bull street taco fix.
Also- averaging 27mpg at 75 so far. And we just drove through Savannah on all electric- you can only tell by the tach on zero!
In reply to grover :
Was going to ask if you wanted to meet for lunch tomorrow but sounds like you're doing a fast return.
In reply to Stampie :
Man I would have loved that! But yeah- research project is awaiting my son. I thought you were Hilton Head for some reason.
Car looks great!!
Quick recap because I've been up since 4:45. I couldn't sleep because I was so excited. we got an Uber at 6:15 to the Brightline station in west palm. From there we took the train to Fort Lauderdale. 2 day booking and charlotte meant no delta or Pbi. Uber from Brightline in Fort Lauderdale to the airport. Long wait with airport breakfast. Fly to charlotte. The dealer had a driver waiting for us in a 22 GLS- side note- they don't make Mercedes like they used to. It has a weird luxury done cheaply feel.
The dealership, formula one import was awesome. They had a Aventador inside and let my son open it up and get inside and then reclose the scissor doors- big highlight for him. We walked around and looked at some interesting cars and then headed out.
I was actually nervous pulling out of the dealership and felt like a new driver. So many buttons and things going on- but I calmed down pretty quickly. The car drove fantastically other than a slight pull right- looks like an alignment is in order.
we went 111 miles before the gas photo. Filled up and the gauge said 441 till empty for the next 120 miles. I guess it will figure out my driving soon.
I'm blown away by the way the car transitions from electric to gas- it's seamless- incredibly well thought out drivetrain.
inside there is a whole lot less storage than the sequoia- but I think I can survive that.
tomorrow we head out early and head back to Jupiter. Looking forward to spending more time with the car and taking my wife and daughter for a ride!
In reply to Slippery :
Thanks!!
+1 for black over tan.
What did the teenager think of the car?
In reply to Piguin :
He loves it. He's told a couple of people that I deserve it. Not going to lie- compliments from a 14 year old land a little heavier.
