Thanks, tomorrow can't come soon enough. I have an important FedEx delivery tomorrow and my wife has a Dr. appointment scheduled in the middle of the day too. I hope the car comes early! Everything is ready to go on my end, I even already have the insurance card for the car.

IT does seem to be lowered a little. The jury is still out on the color. I bought it as Arctic Silver, but everyone is saying it Polar silver.

From the pics, it definitely looks Polar silver. Arctic silver should look closer to the Mercedes C-class in the background of the pic. If you got Polar...then you are lucky as they are definitely more rare.:dance:

That's a pretty rough looking neighborhood . I'd make sure that I kept it locked at all times .

When you see the pics of my car that wont be a joke! I'm thinking the delivery guy is going to be like "really? you live here but you just bought this"?

I know, it's scary sometimes, I live on the low income side of the development. Hey, guess who's car is still sitting outside? I have such a nice wife, we could fit her car in the garage, but I'm afraid my car would feel cramped. LOL

LOL. I was thinking it, but can't believe you SAID it!!

real beauty!!!

Ghostrider 310 02-26-2012 12:10 PM

Guess I'm odd man out, I don't see the "horror" in your neighborhood. In fact if you believe that to be the hood I'll just leave out my arrival shots; for starters my home built garage does not have the faux marble finish.

ohioboxster 02-26-2012 12:13 PM

My impression was Johnny was joking and Tuan is possibly serious? I dunno, either way it's a great neighborhood.

Ghostrider 310 02-26-2012 12:41 PM

My hood is old but safe, people can be inconsiderate with their car stereos but I don't believe anyone has had a break in and I've owned the home thirty years now. As for the garage, my dad who is now sick, my brother and I built it thirty years ago, it's family history and a lot of Fiat factory tools he does not remember the use for. I have thought it might be fun to photograph some tools and start a what are they thread, once he get stabilized I'll try to do that.

Wow, that is nice!

Adding 100 HP is going to be amazing.

Enjoy and congratulations!

I was joking ! With the exception of the "crack house" on the corner, it looks like the quintessential "McNeighborhood " . :)

tuanle16 02-26-2012 10:42 PM

sorry man. i'm sure your neighborhood is very nice and safe. i just saw a blue house. in the area that i live in, that is just not typical. my bad. i apologize if i offended you.

ohioboxster 02-27-2012 12:29 PM

Tuan,

No, you didn't offend me. You would have to mean something to me for me to feel offended. It would be me like saying you're a pretentious prick with terrible grammar. That wouldn't bother you right? Of course it wouldn't, we have no relationship.

I couldn't figure out what the hell you guys were talking about. The crack house reference, the blue house comment really confused me. I looked back at the pictures and figured it out. The car was dropped off at the dealership, not my house.

See the big building on the left? It's an automobile dealership. Tell me about the people that live down the street. I know to stay away from anyone with a blue house. What about the white one? Should I be afraid of them too?

Insufferable pinhead...

Oh crap. My house is painted blue.

Good thing I'm a gangsta with a couple of boosted 9 mils and some weed growing out back behind my garage.

ohioboxster 02-27-2012 12:45 PM

I knew it, as soon as I met you I was thinking pot, I can score some pot from this guy. I'm meeting Marty and Mike for dinner on the 3rd. wish you could be there! I'll get some pics for you. I can't wait to ride in Marty's 911 powered Boxster.

RandallNeighbour 02-27-2012 12:50 PM

Um, I may have misspoken. You and your smokin' hot wife are both LEOs, right? :chicken:

If so, I gave you the totally wrong impression... Uh, I meant ragweed. Lots of weeds growing out behind my garage. Not THAT kind of weed :eek:

Burg Boxster 02-27-2012 12:59 PM

Looks sharp - congrats and welcome to the dark side ;)

Good to see it rode on top deck while the Chebby was appropriately relegated to bottom for catching drips from those above :D j/k of course

Good luck and enjoy :)

ohioboxster 02-27-2012 01:02 PM

Randall, the wife is a full time student now. She will be in law school this time next year.
