Joker45 Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, First of all and please bear with me, there are several people that I have to thank for all of their help in the last year or so. I would name everyone individually but that would take up the entire post :D Just please know that everyone was a great help in information and getting me through the waiting process. Giving me a good ribbing to tide me over. Thank you all very much! I gave one back this morning after I got a call from Gary at Lithia For of Fresno saying that it was ready to go. Most of you know that I have been trying to get a GT 500 since I learned of them through this site back in the day of August 2005. Now on to the good stuff! My car came in last night and I couldn't pick it up till today because of work. I drive down there with my Fiancé and Mom in tow. My mom's a car nut too! Well I drive up and I see my Salesman standing out side waiting for me and my car in a coned off area with a sold sign on it!!! It was the first time that I had seen the color and stripe combo in person! Man was I happy. Gary tells me that there was some problems with my car. The passenger side headlight had condensation in it and they already ordered my a new light. The right front passenger side tire also had some damage to the sidewall. A new tire is on order to replace the damaged one. Besides that it looks flawless! The paint looks very good and I could not find any problems. It was clean but I will check again this weekend when I wash and wax it. Got the paperwork done and about an hour later drove off after pre fight briefing. What a great dealership! They intorduced me to everyone and Gary went out of his way to keep me informed. So here are some more pics of my car. What a blast to drive. It doesn't want to go slow and is just fun to cruise in. Get's some looks too! Had 11 miles on it when I got it. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSURB Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Joker: When I read your post in the other thread that your dealer called and it had damage, I was let down. I am glad to hear it is limited to a headlight enclosure and a tire - both easilly replaced. I hope you enjoy the car as much as I enjoy your Avatar.

So your saying that I should replace my avatar with my car! :D Congrats Joker I know you waited along time , so what was your feeling when you first saw her. I was blown away. I was able to go to the Shebly Bash and was able to see many in person there as well as on the dealer's show rooms. But when you see your own for the first time, well, it's a special time. Other peoples cars look great but when you finally see your own it's a different feeling because you know it's yours! I'm a very fortunate person to be able to own one and have good friends that understand and are willing to help out whenever they can like the people on these boards!
