It's not there yet, but Dara's little baby red convertible is on its way to Kyla. Getting it shipped was an experience. It seems there is an entire industry of transport gypsies who make a living by moving cars, and you generally get to deal with the brokers who connect you with them. One inquiry on the internet has single-handedly doubled our spam volume. We looked for some recommendations from people who had been through it, and one guy said the car arrived weeks late and had been used by the transport people to tool around town as the truck made its way across country, and arrived smelling like fast food. We went with another recommendation from someone who said his experience went smoothly. Roll the dice, I guess.The hot grad student in DC will now have wheels, anyway.

Nice car! I'm sure Kyla is looking forward to that. Dealing with the D.C. traffic can be frustrating but it helps to look good while you steam.
Several of my co-workers used to live in my apartment complex and have assured me that the commute is only about a half hour (because I'm going the opposite direction of everyone else), which is a vast improvement on my current hour - hour and a half commute using public transportation. Can't complain about getting a car though, I'm super excited.
