    It's here, it's red, and it's MINE. Off the truck and out for a quick "tune up", I can't believe it is parked in may garage. Pics to follow!

    Don't know about 'best post ever', but I think this one (the above quote) should be in the running.
    Aside: Dr. J.-- I want to see pics of your self as the car came off the delivery vehicle. Those may qualify in the BPE catagory!

    Middle to end of next week. I'm trying to use John's delivery as a kind of surrogate anxiety relief valve (yes, a SARV).

    Of course I had to drive the Jeep to lunch today, so I might need a bigger valve. ;)

    (Holy cr@p... 5 hours now. That car's gonna be due for another service before we get pics. I think it's every 5 hours or 500 miles on the 355's.)

    Stunning!! Well worth the wait!

    Careful driving in the rain - you might catch a cold and have to miss work tomorrow...

    (Can I ask who shipped it from Sport Auto? Looks like they wrapped it up nicely.)

    Need to take a quick second and thank the seller who really took phenominal care of this car. I haven't seen a ton of 355's, but this is hands down the cleanest one I have had the pleasure to be in.

    Also Steve at Sport Auto who coached me through buying a car (and spent a ton of time fielding questions - pesky questions) but unfortunately didn't come accross a good car before I found this one.

    The shipper was Horseless Carriage. Shipped under the factory cover and a plastic cover too. Very professional, delivered to the day in the time they said it would be, very fair price.

    Those are the factory carbon sport seats. Here are a couple more pictures: They look awesome, and they hold you like a vise!
