I met Jim this morning for breakfast at The Egg & I. We had a nice visit and a good repast.
We arrived at Boardwalk Porsche in good time and the car was ready to roll, tags on and keys in hand. Jim pulled it out into the sun for photos.

Next we took a quick confirmation test drive — all systems go.
There was a minor issue from the pre-purchase inspection at Crest Cadillac that one or more plastic push-pin rivets was missing from the underside air deflector. I brought a few with me and pushed one back into the only place we found open. I gave Jim some extras.
Jim and I paraded up the road to his hotel where he plans to pack-up, checkout, and put the navigation system on New Jersey and head East.
Hopefully we’ll get updates along the way as he progresses. I asked him to remember to mention which state he is in if we need to send bail.
Jim got to Texas, and we got over to the Dealer just in time to grab snaps of his 2011 Cadillac CTS-V but not soon enough to actually take it home.
I met Jim at the airport, then we went by the Dealer, checked in to his hotel, and out to dinner. Fun evening, and back at it for Breakfast and the CTS-V pickup Saturday.
Jim will have the real pictures you can see him taking in these preview photos to post when he has time.
