Default My new Turbo arrived at Dealer Today!!!!

I could hardly sleep last night knowing my car was arriving today. The truck pulled in about 9am this morning and I was greeted there by friends, Jason (atomic80) and Larry (humm3). Although I don't take official delivery until later in the week, I just couldn't wait and had to show you some pics of my new car getting loaded off the truck! (I am not a photographer, so I will get some help with that after the car is detailed and ready for its first real photoshoot!) Then I got to drive the car down the street to the dealer. Funny story because my car had the speed limiter on it for shipment not allowing me to go over 20mph. Well, what are the chances of this, but a red Ferrarri is all of a sudden behind me and I had to crawl like a snail! LOL Oh well, I enjoyed every minute in my new car - it is so beautiful and I can't wait to bring it home.

And a video courtesy of a friend: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yvFy-HZoO8

I saved those rub strips! Never know when you'll need them.

Greta, SWEET!

It would have scared the hell out of me to watch them rotate the car 90 degrees to get it out of the trailer!

Nice ride...you might consider changing your side markers to all white and rear tail lights to all red...and even getting your dealership to send your wheels out to get the charcoal portions painted Carrara White...

Had the side markers changed before I drove off the lot (told them I couldn't be seen in public with those - LOL). I will get new wheels, but not sure yet which ones. Next week I get my radar and laser systems installed, Tookie, and Denison. Then I just want to drive it for awhile and enjoy it.
