New Zealand...
 

... Is where I'm going in less than 24 hours time!

The flight will take over a day, and then I will get jetlag, being around 12 hours out of sync!

I still have no idea what car I will get; a low price will be the first priority, but after that, I will probably choose it for hypermiling ability!.

Good luck with your new job and life in New Zealand. I'm sure you will find the right car for yourself there. When you get settled, we would like a pic or two of your abode.

Get a badass ute. :)

Good luck! thats alot of jet lag!
