Think of the movie Paul, with the little martian. j/k Being on C5 makes you think you are an Alien from another planet. Just ask Spike.

Ha, ha. Very funny. That's actually Lance Armstrong...lol



Well, I just got off the phone. They are in St. Petersburg....and....

wait for it....

wait for it....

Reason #11:
We were moving the car WITHIN the transport to get another one out and it ran out of gas. I called NRE but was confused. They said it was low on gas in the main tank and that I needed 91 or 93 octane. Which filler does it go in ?

Of course my first reply is "Why are you moving it?" It it not allowed to leave the confines of the truck. It is not a car to go joy riding in.

He said that it was only moved within the truck. Checked with NRE and they did call. Going to call the transport service back and make sure NO ONE drives the car. This is insane.

Sounds like he's picking up cars for return haul before he ever off-loads yours..... Do you have a pocket size voice recorder? I'd chat with the driver and let him hang himself

Didn't think about that, but it makes sense.

This is absolute BS. I understand delays and what all..... but this isn't a normal grocery getter type car. Forget the "Oh it's a Camaro" type deal; this is a car that could kill someone in the wrong hands.

Yeah thats no good, no matter how much gas it has it should have enough to be able to go back and forth 15 feet, the car really could kill someone if they decided to drive it

Bruce,

Did you and NRE possibly compare mileage readings on the odometer before it left their shop... Are they documented anywhere...
