Well, I called the guy. I was trying to focus on school and then my night was weird. I went to bed early, only slept a few hours, got a ton of schoolwork done, finally had a good run, and still thought that it was too early to call the guy, so I went back to sleep.

I should have called earlier. He said that he received many calls and texts yesterday, one guy is on his way from Phoenix, and another is on his way from Tucson.

How long does it take to check out a car? The first Civic that I saw did not take long to dismiss, I could not take it for a test drive, so I left. The second one looked perfect. I took it for a test drive and then to a mechanic.

I would be disappointed if someone bought this out from under me.

Should I just let him know that I am familiar with Civics, not that I have been looking for this specific car for months?

I am especially worried about the guy coming up from Tucson. That is three or four hours of driving!

A story exists that the origin of the Silver Arrows was accidental. The international governing body of motor sport prescribed for 1934 onwards a maximum weight limit of 750 kg for Grand Prix racing cars, excluding tyres and fuel. It is said that when in spring 1934, the Mercedes-Benz team placed its new Mercedes-Benz W25 on the scrutineering scales prior to the Eifelrennen at the Nürburgring, it allegedly recorded 751 kg (1,656 lb). Racing manager Alfred Neubauer and his driver Manfred von Brauchitsch, who both later published their memoires, claimed that they had the idea of scraping all the white paint from the bodywork. The story continues that the next day the shining silver aluminium beneath was exposed and scrutineering was passed. After the 350 hp (260 kW) car of von Brauchitsch won the race, the nickname Silver Arrow was born, according to the legend.

Enthusiastic may be better, if you are looking for a deal. If you want it, and will just pay, then let him know you have been searching.

I went 8 hours for my Insight...lol
