Welcome to the forum. This is a great place, I know things didn't work out on my car, BUT it looks like you've found another good one. Let me know how the trip home goes and if you wind up coming through my area shoot me a text, we'll grab a bite.

Welcome to the forum and I bet you didn’t get much sleep last night in anticipation of getting your GS today. Hope the purchase goes smoothly and the trip home is a blast.
