Hopefully they find another way. If I drive it back home then I have to pay Cali Sales tax. So it would literally just be to fly there to sign paperwork.

I would check on the tax issue. For out of state purchases, taxes are charged by the county the car is registered to in my experience. Not sure on leasing.

If this is a new car, driving it cross-country would be somewhat painful, if you followed the break-in recommendations.

Driving cross country to bring it home? That will be fun. Remember the breakin period so don't get too rambunctious! Enjoy and I hope you get great driving weather to really give you a chance to get to know the car.

P.S. I would heed others sage advice here and "take it easy", relatively speaking. Ain't gonna be easy.

Sounds like a great road trip. Enjoy.

A bit late now, my advice based on personal experience would be don't have a test drive, unless you're willing to buy!
