Talking Finally she came home...

BTW I have my CAR!!!! WOO HOO I am very happy with it. Nicole was shocked as she drove up the driveway. I was sitting there with my arms crossed and the Garage door opened. She was very excited and could not believe I could keep this a secret/surprise for 6 weeks. I let her drive the rest of the night as we ran around town getting misc last minute Thanksgiving stuff.

There are a few minor things the dealer did not point out like 4 small chips/scratches on the drivers side skirt. I will get the skirts and front bumper resprayed then 3M treated when I get the wong done.

The interior is VERY clean the truck driver when I first spoke with him thought it was a new car this gave me some relief that it was a clean car. Well he was right the car is super clean it needs a good detail (This weekend) I gave it a quick wash after it was delivered. The car was filthy and they left the window open for the 6 weeks it was on the truck! It had all kinds of **** on the hood. I was pissed! I will be sending in a claim with A1 on Monday and then if I get no results I will take them to small claims.

DO NOT SHIP WITH A1 AUTO TRANSPORT!

My sales assoc. also had the dealer install a Alpine CD changer as a surprise. Well I am surprised it will be yanked out. They have one of those control panels mounted underneath the stereo. I do not like this look. So I will pull it and buy a factory changer.

It has a Silver crest on the steering wheel which I was expecting black. I wanted the silver crest so that saved me some coin. The seats are not full power so the power rail swap won't happen. Oh well! It also has SS Door sills which I was not expecting another bonus.

I immediatley did the 1/2 install with the Litronic lights 5 min after getting home. I installed in less the 10 min. Also put the new floor mats in. I picked up some Mobile 1, Super blue, and a pollen filter and oil filter to do some maintence while I have the car up in the air this weekend. It should be F-U-N!

After my honey do chores I will playing with my new car... at least until the Turkey is ready!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm happy it finally arrived for you Sandoval! You and I were both waiting for our cars at the same time, but my wait was not nearly as long as yours (about 2.5 weeks for my car to be transported from PA to TX). I can't imagine how excrutiating the wait was for you! It's great that your car is finally where it belongs.

Of course you managed to stay busy buying all of those mods!

Congrats and enjoy and we need some pictures! We all know you're already having a very happy Thanksgiving!

congratulations

....but its about time!

I know your transports woes all to well! I had my old 1992 C2 Cab transported out here in SF from Texas, and they (trucking co) nicked my frt bumper! I was paid right on the spot though by the driver! He hit or nudged my car with a tailpipe from the Lambo countach that was in front of my car while he was loading it. He didnt want to marr his "perfect" record, and paid me CASH on the spot.......I guess I just got unluckily-lucky!

Have LOTS of fun today.....and tomorrow, and the day after that, and.......
