    I wouldn't worry too much about it Riesstiu - you will get use to it all in no time.

      Have her give directions, that way if you miss the turn you can blame her.

        Jesus Christ, Wiggy. Buy a GPS for a 30 mile trip?
        You people need to come to Texas. 30 miles?

            If it really is bothering you, then do a test drive while it's light. It's only 35 miles, after all.
            I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

              That was my first thought, but then it's tonight. Probably not enough time.

                After you've got the directions from whatever site you use. Go to the satellite photo of the area, and visually walk yourself through your journey. It will make you feel considerably more comfortable. Much better than just the map. And if there's any confusion you'll know earlier and won't get surprised by it.

                    I bet you're nervous for the date and not how to get there.

                    Dont worry, if you get lost and get there late because of it, she'll probably think its cute or something. Plus, it'll give you something to talk about.

                        This is just his way of letting us know he's got a date.

                              He might need to do longer trips in the rain and not want to have to constantly check a map. In this case, it is helpful to have an automated woman tell you exactly what to do and when. And yes I had a credit card so it's not like I really paid for it when I bought it.

                              I think you are referring to my situation a while back. I advise you to do anything necessary to avoid police involvement if the wreck might look like you did it, but really were entrapped by some scam artist.

                                Well, after thoroughly going through all the info at hand, I feel pretty confident about the drive. If I don't post in three days there's a good chance I'm being tortured by an isolated family of hillbillies and Slowwhand will need to rescue me.

                                I would consider it but you guys are sort of scary.
