It should take less than 20 minutes. It's worth the time.
Enjoy!

I've now printed out all of the literature--good stuff!
Thanks so much for the link to that.
I will be sure to look at the manual and the checklists while
I am there--and to do the little drive to gather initial
observations re the alignment etc.

Hope you don't get a ticket.
After 600 miles you can drive over 200 MPH.
But don't kill your self.

Nope. To protect the electric motors, the computers won't let it go
faster than 114 MPH.

I, anyway, am not into speeding. I don't even do much highway
driving. I do like to accelerate though--and to be able to
pass annoyingly slow vehicles.
