It is finally here, but….
… I haven’t yet driven it 😯
Here she comes.
Alberta only provided a from point A to point B ‘In Transit’ sticker even though we have temporary binding insurance for seven days. Next step is to get a BC permit for one day to use the vehicle here, from the provincial ICBC office. I did get that this morning by using Colin’s car before he left for work this morning. However it is only good for tomorrow. I certainly don’t want to take the car out on my own for the first time as there are so some many bells and whistles that I just might hit the eject button in error. I did test drive a local car last week so I know how it feels.
It is an RX350 Lexus.
So tomorrow morning we are off together to Canadian Tire to get the out of province vehicle inspection which can take from 60- 90 minutes. We have no doubt that it will pass with flying colors. Next step is to take it back to the insurance office where they will visually check the VIN number and then finally issue me my registration papers. Then I am good to go. Some money does have to transfer hands even though I am transferring my Z3 insurance to this car.
Colin took these 3 photos at the final home he was shooting just outside of Calgary. He really enjoyed driving the car and thinks it will be perfect for me.
To find an RX350 with this gold exterior and having a parchment interior is next to impossible. There are very few in existence and this one is almost new and in pristine condition with only 44000 kms on it. Our good friends Ken and Margot who used to live here and now reside in Victoria have the identical vehicle but with a burgundy exterior and they love it.
It is going to be a real pleasure learning to enjoy all the features. The car comes with the Ultra Premium Package 2 which includes all you can think of and more. Things that we never knew even existed in a vehicle. It even has the rear seat DVD entertainment package. I guess we could get the 101 Dalmations movie for the girls to enjoy. Everyday that I drive it, I will be reminded of how fortunate I am to be here enjoying life each and every moment of a new day.
Hey, it even fits in the driveway.
Looking forward to driving it tomorrow. And no George, I won’t be drinking any wine when I’m driving it.
