Default New Ride!

Because I'm out of the country, I can't get the car until August. By this time tomorrow, I'll have plane tickets from Atlanta to Boston. I found tickets on Orbitz for 94 dollars one way!...The wife and I will spend a few days in Boston and then drive the new ride home. I can't wait!

Thanks Ron and Tom JR....can't wait to meet these guys in person!

Congrats! 'You done good.'

Tommy Jr. and Ron are great. I ordered my 2010 through them and hope to meet them someday. I took the Museum delivery.

You need to be real careful with a beauty like that! If it sits for a whole month during the summer it may end up having some problems. You should have a local forum member pick it up for you and drive it all during July to make sure everything is OK.

Too bad I don't live around there!

Stay safe and enjoy your new ride!

Tommy Jr made my purchase from MacMulkin very easy. And I had a trade in that had to go from Texas to New Hampshire. It was a smooth transaction every step of the way.
