Default My car is scheduled to arrive on Friday!!!

Enclosed carrier is picking up in Virginia tomorrow; arrives some time on Friday!!

They messed up and quoted me open carrier price for enclosed. Honoring their quote!

Getting very excited!! Here's hoping Memorial Day traffic doesn't slow it down.

The pic is my profile and avatar.

I did not do a PPI-which burned me last time.

I know the history and there's been no mileage since. I do however plan to get it up on the lift day 1 and change out all fluids and do my checklist for what it needs now and in the short and near future. Have nearly everything in my garage in terms of fluids (short 3 quarts of ATF).

Draining: Radiator and block; ATF; Oil & filter; Brake Fluid (must); PSD brake fluid; Differential oil; Power Steering ATF. Think that covers it.

Draining: Bank account.

Changing fuel hoses ASAP; hopefully next week will get racing lines put in.

The thermostat and gasket was just changed as were the 4 o-rings around the water bridge.

Yeah man, that's one of.my.favorite things... stare at it, drive it, tinker. Figure out my plan of attack. You gotta go at these things like a horse wisperer.

Hey Mike, I know you are excited. They deliverd a day or two early on both of my most recent purchases and shipments. Different carriers. Those guys drive like crazy. I could not believe that I got the 88s4 from Boston to NC almost overnight.

Good luck, Hope she lives up to your expectations

Very cool.. so after kicking yourself for not buying that car first time around, you caught it on the rebound?

Glad to see you back in the tank!
