Lucky that my neighbor saw my enthusiasm in buying this car, he offered to go with me.

Sunday morning, we started driving at 530am, arrived at 1130am. Earlier than expected. We decided to go straight to the seller before going for lunch. The car is parked right in the driveway, and wow it looked better than i expected. Because of covid, there werent any autoplan (insurance) places that were opened to public, everything had to go thru phone and email and e-signatures. We stayed at his house for almost 1.5 hrs, dealing with my insurance and transfer ownership. Finally i handed my bank draft to him without driving the car (car has no insurance, so i cant test drive it), and got my registration paper and insurance. We grabbed a quick lunch and taped up my front end in the parking lot. We left castlegar, bc around 3:30pm. I was going to stop somewhere in the middle for the night, but my neighbor had enough energy to drive all the way back. Arrived vancouver at around 10ish. A total of around 14hrs of driving in the same day, definitely once in a lifetime experience.

So initial impression of the car, wow it definitely exceed my expectation. And live up the M-hype. On the 6.5 hrs drive back, there was pouring rain, semi-damp and complete dry pavement. I took a careful approach on somewhat pushing the car, is my first rwd car, it performed in the twisties effortlessly. All the long sweepers, quick essses, consecutive essses, hairpins, performed flawlessly. Quite a surprise especially in stock form. I would say my gamble paid off, not be able to touch, drive and see the car in person. And only based on the ppi, trusting the owner for his expertise, drove a total of 14 hours and buying the car during this pandemic, what an experience. Falling in love with the car instantly.

Will attach more pics later.
