Tomorrow is the Big day.

The car will be arriving VIA intercitylines.com. The funny thing is the driver called me and said he is in coconut creek which is 20 mins from my house. I asked him why he would not deliver today and I even offered to come pick it up. He told me because my car is all the way in the back of the truck he would deliver at 12pm tomorrow. I have waited 5 months I guess I can wait another 16 hours.

Congrats. Yours is on the truck, mine is on the boat. You have 16 hours, I have 16 days. It must be a sign.

You must psyched, I have not been this psyched about a car since I got my 360. Your car looks pretty loaded. What is the window on yours and how long do you plan on keeping it?

You're right. Psyched, and then some. My official sticker from the dealer's computer is $97,139. That includes gas guzzler tax. It does not include the illuminated sills, telephone (which I purchased from the parts department last week), or the other misc accessories e.g. car cover, etc. I traded in a 2004 LS430 Lexus, so get a sales tax break, but it is going to be a bit over $100k when it is all said and done. I will wait and see on how long I keep it. If there are no significant problems, and if I like the car, and if the 2006 or later models are n/a, then I am looking at a long term relationship. I am just hoping that it does not prove to be a maintenance headache.

Congrats, post some pics asap. I haven't seen to many pics of flint grey and I want to see what I missed out on by going with black, over the flint grey I originally had on order. Bet it will look great, have fun.

Congrats Duane. Did you go ahead and send it to Kleemann or was it sent directly to you? Did you get that CF trim or new wheels?

Duane, I have a Motorola V600 and when I take a photo the phone prompts me to "store" or "discard". Under "store", the options include "Send in Message", then "MMS" or "Email". The phone has to be set up to send email before it actually works. I suppose it would be quicker to buy a camera and upload to your computer. The world is waiting. So, let the show begin.

Its all about Bluetooth. You can sync with Outlook send and recieve sounds, pictures, and videos from the phone without using mMode, MediaNet, or T-Mobiles WAP access.

Correct. I don't think it matters now. Duane is probably taking pictures right now with his new camera. Right, Duane? I will be right here. 2 more weeks, and I will be taking the pic, myself.
