So I started out to pick up the car. Had truck problems just before I got on the thruway, spent 3 hrs to put a bandaid on it so I could drive 7 hrs there and 7 hrs back. I just unpacked. It was very nice to meet the factory five people. Everyone was very happy to be doing what they do. Wish I could have spent more time there. I asked them for the nearest ATM but forgot to ask where I could get some good coffee, Next time. I got at least 10 comments on the way back at the rest stops and at the toll booths. I was driving at the speed limit so I was getting people going by but they would slow down to look at it and it caused some backups. It's not even done! My wife said just drag it around on a trailer for awhile!

What happened to your truck? What kit did you pick up?

Got the trailer inspected that morning. Went back to load up with straps, 2x4s,....in the snow so using 4x4. Took it out of 4 wheel and the motor to do that crapped out. It still thought it was in 4 wheel so the vacuum sensors kept the front wheels locked. Long story. Ended up switching some vacuum lines to unlock the hubs and continued the drive. The car is in the barn with the boxes! Motor is getting the dynamometer tomorrow. I put some foam in the drivers side and sat in it. I did not make motor noises though.

Oh, I got the complete kit with all the options. Can't beat the 50/50 sale.

MK4.
I need to keep moving fast because it's cold here.
I've been keeping track of my hours. Inventory took 7.5 hrs. and was worth it. I found some discrepancies.
