Brought my cuda home but the waiting didn't end yet...
« on: April 23, 2008 - 03:17:25 PM »
I brought her home today. After running from desk to desk, paying cash left and right I took her home today.
Car still needs to go thru customs on Friday and inspection next week or so. Got my (old) plates and insurance.
Just temporarly hung up the plates...

Been waiting for the car for more then 70 days...

Here some pix

All the hasle did take his toll on the 'fun factor' ... :icon_smile_dissapprove:

Congratulations on getting her home!   :2thumbs:  The car looks great.  I'm sure you'll feel differently tomorrow, after you've had a day to recoup from all the stress of trying to get your car home.

Congats...  Waiting and associated stress suck, but can be relieved by a simple push of the right foot......  Once again congratulations

Hey CB,

All of those hassles will become distant memories once you take your first drive!
Congratulations! :2thumbs:

Congrats  :2thumbs:. Nice to hear that you finally got it delivered.
At least you got it home, you must feel much better, now that you know where the car is. I know I would.

yea, that was my biggest concern, knowing it just sits there at the docks...
now she's tucked away in my little garage waiting for the trip on Friday.
Thanks for the welcome home replies  :swaying:

ALRIGHT!  I'm happy for you!
I'd have lost my mind in your position.
