Conceived with passion by unknown artists
And here she is. These wheels will take me to Seattle and back, beginning June 13 and ending whenever I feel like coming home. The car is a 2009 Mazda3 i Touring, as yet unnamed. The process of laying my hands on her was everything car shopping is supposed to be: stressful, time-consuming, probing, a little sketchy. But in the end, thanks to Edmunds.com and a little help from my dad, I found the right car for Lover's Lanes and beyond. She is lovely inside and out, with excellent handling, comfortable seats, and the ability to drive four hundred miles on the interstate without stopping (which is more endurance than I've got!) The two of us will be making a beeline across America for San Francisco using I-70, arriving after about twelve days' travel. There I'll attend a friend's wedding celebration, then drive up the coast to Seattle, and thence meander home, perhaps hitting New York on the way. It's really happening, and it's really awesome.
