That's a good point. Clear that up before you fly out. But, I would think most owners would say, "OK, if you're flying in, then I guess you're serious. Since you've never driven one of these cars before, we'll drive together to the empty stadium parking lot and you can drive it around there."

EDIT -- "... and in the meantime, I'll wire an ignition kill button to a deadman switch that I'll hold in my hand while I'm in the passenger seat."
