Thanks Larry - my drive is a little steep so I will probably have to crab it in there. In high school I had a truck I had dropped,, and it was low enough for the transmission brace to kick up road reflectors!

great purchase...congrats

RSduce · 05-17-2008, 02:41 PM

It was loaded on the truck this morning! Enjoy it!

MikeG911 · 05-17-2008, 05:59 PM

Ah man fantastic! My friend said the truck companies are always early - hopefully that is the case! Thanks Rick

twaszak1 · 05-17-2008, 06:06 PM

Just be careful with that CF stuff. VERY slippery and expensive slope. Trust me. I spent over 20k on it. No regrets though

Ah you are the man TJ - Thanks a bunch man - I REALLY apprciate it. If you ever make it to Orlando I owe ya a good beer and a nice dinner! Looking forward to getting it! I think I want to install the exige mesh grills and tow hooks next.

Beautiful ride, CONGRATS!!!!

I'll second the warning about driving slowly up and down driveways. My CF splitter is getting a bit worn on the bottom, but it sure does save the front clam. I'll also warn you about getting the "mod" bug. I spend way too much time and money on mods, but I wouldn't have it any other way. You're starting out with some very cool ones, so really enjoy the heck out of it.

Holy giant picture Batman!

Got it today. Looks pretty good, a few minor scrathes and chips which I was kind of surprised about being it's new car. I still need to get the PIN number too since I didn't see it, but over all, car looks good. Can't wait to drive it!
