Well, we have had the car for a week now and I have to say that I am quite pleased with this purchase. I did discover a pleasant surprise on Thursday and it is one that will help me be more productive as a writer.

My normal routine is that I leave my day-job about 4 in the afternoon and drive to my sweetie-wife’s place of employment. I arrive generally about 4:30 and then I have half an hour to wait until she is done for the day and we can head home together.

Thursday I slid the driver’s seat as far back as it would go, even though I am tall I tend to drive fairly close to the wheel I suspect a lot of my height is in my torso, discovering that there was enough room between me and the steering column for my laptop, unfolded and totally usable.

Well that is just great! I have discovered another 20-25 minutes a day and over a week that is 100-125 minutes or close to two hours of extra writing time.
