Sitting in the terminal at Seatac... In 7 hours I'll be taking delivery of my new-to-me M Coupe in Pittsburgh! 2400 mile drive home over 5 days with new snow tires mounted just in case. Spending nights in Cleveland, Chicago, and then probably Minneapolis and finally Billings MT before the last leg home. I'll try to update here along the way with some Coupe pics of the journey.
If you see a silver Coupe along those routes it's probably me!

Good luck! I went to school in Cleveland, but haven't spent any real time there in 10 years or so. Two restaurants that were great then and are still around now:
* If you're staying downtown the Chop House is a good steakhouse.
* If you're staying out by the airport and like Mexican food try Nuevo Acapulco.
congrats! Sounds like a great "get acquainted" trip!
Since the car is arriving at the SEA-TAC terminal, where is car coming from?
Best way to get to know your baby, congrats buddy!

have a safe trip. are you meeting Dave in Pittsburgh or driving out to Saxton?
Thanks guys! Just checked in to our hotel in Cleveland (actually Independence). The weather is great so far, nice and clear. Really lucked out.
Dave trailered the car to the airport for us. Great guy. We only have 4 days to get the car back to the west coast so didn't have much time in the area. Thanks again for checking out the car for me Mark!
Here are the only shots of the car so far. Dave picking us up from the airport, me staring longingly at my new baby:
And getting ready to unload her off the trailer:
And that's it for now guys. 120 miles down, 2500~ to go! I'll try to get the gf to be more diligent about taking pics LoL.

Great way to make you purchase memorable! Have fun and drive safe.
Billings to Vancouver in one leg, that's going to be a long day.
Yeah, probably going to try to stretch it a little past Minneapolis on Friday night so that the later part of the trip isn't as painful. Hoping for Fargo ND Friday and then Butte MT Saturday night.
Spent a bit of time driving around downtown Cleveland tonight. Man I almost forgot how awesome these cars are. Also, I've completely taken Vancouver roads / highways for granted. I could never drive my M3 daily over here!
Couple quick shots from the "warehouse district" in Cleveland:
Mmmmm, still my favourite angle:
Next up Chicago, should be there early afternoon tomorrow! Been up since 6am PST yesterday (36 hours) so it's about time to pass out LoL
