The drive back after buying it is a great time. I drove from Miami back to Houston after buying mine.

It's all about the drive! It's the only way to roll. Besides, closed container shipping is $2,200 more than to just drive it back :-/

Thanks everyone for the greetings! Nice to see a couple member in my state, but I'm shocked that there aren't any closer to Phoenix, Scottsdale or Glendale. I saw a few on the freeway since I got here a year ago.

I took some cell pics for you guys after a good detail since taking my 2,200 mile trip!
