Hope it goes ok.
Yeah, I asked if it would be easier to withdraw half from 2 different accounts and the teller said no. It annoys me that the govt tracks something that is none of their business

The teller asked if I was purchasing a car, and I was half tempted to tell her that there was a sale on heroin.

But none of that matters now as you own it!
There is good profit in fixing up cars for people, not just Russians. That's the mystery to me. If the profit motive exists for all people, and Russians account for less than 1% of Americans, then why is it only Russians I see selling branded Prii? They don't even seem to have any particular in depth knowledge of the vehicle in my experience.

Well, I made it to Bend without a hitch. It was raining cats and dogs sideways all day and I havent found a single problem yet. I did vacuum safety glass out of the glove box this morning though. Can't wait to plug it in!
