Default Counting down the days

I am getting very excited. December 2nd I pick up my 2003 Black/black Z06. (Finally my first vette) :D

I think I am ready:
*Plane tickets Olbia, Italy to Atlanta on 1 December (Check)
*Vette money standing by in my NFCU savings account ready to be wire transferred to Monica at Maxie Price (Check)
*USAA auto insurance ready with the exception of the VIN # (Check)
*Fax ready to send in order for Clearastic (Check)
*Digital camera (Check)
*GM bra picked out to be ordered and sent to Monica next week (Check)
*Emails sent to Nate @Extreme for first Mods (Chromies, Hurst shifter, CAGS, Donaldson, FLP long tube header system) to be done on trip from Atlanta to San Jose Ca (Check) :eek:
*Wife unaware of the Mods (Big Check) :lol:
*Line on a couple houses to rent in San Jose area (Check)
*Arrangements for someone I trust to baby-sit my Vette if I cant find a house before I have to fly back to Italy. (Check)
* Web page ready to put pictures on (Check)
* Plane ticket from San Fransisco to Olbia, Italy (Check)
* Vette wave down (Check) :seeya
Now if world conditions will just stay calm until I fly out, so I can take this leave (fingers crossed) :flag

They don't lie.....WAITING is the worst!

It was 2 weeks from giving Monica the deposit til I got my new babe, and it was a rough time.

Oh, and tell Monica you're a Gator fan, that should get ya some mileage :reddevil
