Took car back on Wednesday 2/16. The roads are just not good enough yet to take the car for a drive, which I was hoping to do by now. The storage unit place still had the gate propped open. Turns out it's a good thing to be so near the gate keypad, as they keep that area mostly cleared of snow, so I can back in ok. | 0.00 |
