Maybe someone will take pity on us and drive that train one more leg today...

You know, I hadn't thought about this before, but my ETA is 2:30 Monday also. I was assuming all along that it meant ETA to Yuma. The train does run through Yuma and we have a railyard. If your ETA is 2:30 to Phx, I'm getting a sour feeling in the pit of my stomach...

not quite.. I have a busy day tomorrow, and now they are wanting me to come into work..
don't know if that is going to happen. I am not holding my breath.. seeing how it's taken this long I wouldn't doubt with my luck that they don't have it ready until Tuesday..
there I said it.. now I wont be disappointed when it's not ready tomorrow.

You've come too far to have a defeatist attitude now. Buy those driving gloves, you'll be using them tomorrow!!!

I'm sorry! :( It does look like UP's lines run to Yuma also, but it sounds like they are intending on trucking it from Phoenix to Yuma for you (maybe they don't have enough cars going that direction to justify the railcar any further than Phoenix?). Hopefully you won't have to wait any longer than I will for a truck, and then your drive will only be a few extra hours - maybe we'll still get them the same day!

I can't wait to see pics when you get it! I don't think I've seen any pictures with your color combination.

Actually, I can't wait to see mine, either! I haven't seen any others with IBM and CG rally stripes...

I cried... then ALL the folks that work at Moritz came out & began clapping for me!! What an exciting experience!!

The pics aren't that good..cell phone pics & excitement doesn't make for the best of pics... but here they are... Me meeting Ruby for the first time ... and me driving her off the lot!! You guys .......... it's so worth the wait!! Hang in there. Your rides are coming!

Congrats! Same color and type as mine! They are a blast!!
