Weekend dispatch SUX here too... probably should have asked for the drivers cell # ..... Did they say if he would be calling when he was close?

Yes they did, but a courtesy call anytime yesterday afternoon or earlier today would have been nice. It's doesn't take any extra time to make a call while motoring down the Interstate.

If I miss an appointment, the customer can say, "come back tomorrow"... I don't miss appointments.

Tell him to come back tomorrow, you closed at noon

Your CAMARO is like winning the LOTTERY! Hope he didn't take the GRAND PRIZE!

GEEEEEEZ its been a long time (since I've been in here and the forum lol). Saw a pretty sick black 5th Gen on a trailer the other day and texted one of my friends about it, she then told me to check it because the SST was being transported home. I was like wtf... BIG HUGE Congrats Bruce, I wouldn't worry too much about the transport. A lot of guys run pretty hard during the week pushing their limit of 60-70 hours and then reset for 34 hours to run legal again. Its an enclosed transport and I'm positive its being babied don't be surprised if its covered in a blanket when it gets there, seriously. Enjoy that whip Brotha!!!

Thanks A...

I think I got a little screwed here. They were a week late in picking it up and then the driver has never made contact with me about dates/times. It all came from dispatch, but they never called. Nelson told me that it had been picked up. I have to keep calling them. On the latest paperwork it said that it would be here on June 22nd. Last time I called dispatch (on Friday morning) they said was it would be here by the weekend. Sat evening at the latest. No SST yet. I trust they will transport it correctly. It is the lack of ANY communication that pisses me off. I can wait as long as I know what the status is. Anyway, enough of rant. I just want the damn car...

Hope all is going well with you and your beast. Have you done any videos recently ?

Take Care.

Whoops... forgot to tell you... I hi-jacked that truck in Texas...

dang dude! this has gotta be nerve-wracking!

in the mean time, i got my butt handed to me by a pretty sick EVO last night :(
granted, i still have to roll slowly into 3rd for lack of clutch & tires, but he still has a good-running little Jap trap

An EVO, huh? Well I am sure those can be modded to be little speed demons...

:(

If anyone does NOT deserve this right now it's you Bruce.

So after I take some pics here in my garage in Mobile, I'll send it on the way.

But for real, the lack of tracking sucks here.

yeah, he's pretty quick & running rich as all get out. i swear i saw half his gas tank spraying out his exhaust in a black cloud he's taking it to get tuned next week i think.










but we went again tonight & starting from 50 instead of 40 made all the difference... i think i had close to a car on him
no word on the car yet?

[Mr Twisty]

Communicating with the customer..... what a novel idea (apparently)
