Congrats on the new car! I would have allowed you to ship it here to norcal were I could keep the battery charged and the fluids moved around a bit for you from time to time.

Good looking car pard. Sorry bout your weather / seasonal issues but it'll go by faster than you think. Plenty of time to think about how you want to mod your baby.

Beautiful car. I found them easy to work with also. Seems they really get their cars dialed in well and ready to be sold. I couldn't be more pleased. I like your color combinations and the blacked out wheels..Sweet ride

weather isn't going to be too much of a problem as you're right lots of time to plan where to go next. Now spending lots of time just getting used to all the bells and whistles not to mention cleaning the transport grime off.
