I understand the apprehensive excitement, but the good thing is that there are "car people" all across the country, and they're generally quick to help one another in any times of real need. NSRA's book of "Fellow Pages" is a pretty good list that covers a lot of territory to at least get a guy started networking. My bet is that you cruise across & back without a hitch! Are you hooking up with any other Stude's on the way?
