I'm not enjoying my final pre RS moments at all :-)

next week feels like a year from now, especially since I expected the car this week up until about last Friday. This waiting is just brutal !!

I know how you feel my car was done 1/10/07 and sat for 5 weeks. Today they indicated a new arrival for my boat, to San Diego, from 3/15 to 3/20. I just hope I get it in March!

I should get my RS this Friday. It sat at the port in San Diego for over a week...it drove me crazy. Turns out it had a wrinkle in one of the decals that had to be ordered and replaced. Should be on the truck today or tomorrow.

A while back, I ordered a rebuilt euro dogleg transmission from the east coast. The day after the tranny was shipped with UPS, the workers went on a strike! What a timing that was.

That was a tranny, I can't imagine you lucky boys waiting for the RS. Dayyyummm.... painful

A wrinkle?....bet it was more like a scratch sustained enroute....I know that the car in Palm Beach (other thread) had to scrape the lip getting on and off of that pedestrian flat bed.

Waiting sucks!

Does anyone know if the Ryujin will dock in Baltimore today?

Just got the call from the dealer, boat arrived in GA late last night, should be unloading today, and possibly at dealership on Saturday, but the shop that preps the cars is closed on Saturday and Sunday, so its possible that I won't get the car until Monday. Sales guy is trying to get the prep guys to come in on Saturday so that I can pick the car up on Sunday. All body parts are crossed

I'm gonna make a bet..... Erik's gonna show up at this weekends Gold Coast / PBOC event at Moroso in his new RS with the packing peanuts & plastic wrap flying out the window as he hauls *ss down the front straight.

P.S. Erik - It's about time you updated that signature of yours! It's not a build anymore - it's here!
