I know there have been some personal setbacks, but has the van moved yet? Just looking for completion.

ps. Or is it in the paint shop getting flames painted on it and a hooptie naked mural on the back?
They are installing the chromed 21 inch wheels with the spinning centers as we speak.
Then comes the ice blue metallic custom paint, hydraulics, and the super dark tint.
The 2000 watt stereo system, subs, and DVD entertainment center will be installed on Monday.
Then it can be delivered.
I need to speak to the Cawdreys and see what weekend is good for them.
I can pick it up any time this coming week (planned for Tuesday)

I was a little curious about that myself. Don't forget the camera!
Oh. First part of the bill is paid (3k) I will pay the rest when I test drive the van.
I cant wait to drive in crappy snowy weather all the way to Seattle.
B
Crap I figured this was already up here. Wish Id known I was just down at Ft. Irwin for the week and could have redirected and driven it back saving you the hassel Brad.
Don't drive it, transport it.
CCL
is this vehicle going to need an immediate service (new engine) when it arrives in seattle to preserve any warrantee? please tell me this engine came with some type of. the siskyous can be a real crap shoot this time of year. i beat the weather window by 8 hours a week ago. with fuel potential, lodging, snacks, and the cost of a one way ticket, transport maybe an attractive alternative.

I will ask the dealership about the "service". I can take it to any of the local dealers for oil change/blah blah. It is 300 some odd miles from me to the van.. so it will have 300+ on it when I get it to SF.
I'll look into the shipping thing.... although it defeats the whole "fact to face" thing on delivery (photo op..LOL)
B
Next weekend it is. I'll leave out on Thursday night.
Anyone know how long it takes from SF to Seattle ??
Does JP hate me ?
B
Took me 11 hrs in a Honda Civic. But no snow, etc. Prolly 15-20 ??
Oopps ! I'm supposed to be in bed
brad, figure 3 1/2 hr from salem or. redding to tacoma was 9 hrs. you won't be in a bmw averaging 86 mph. try to time portland before noon. that will put you into seattle before the afternoon rush.

Mapquest is calling it:
Total Distance: 807.75 miles
Total Estimated Time: 12 hours, 31 minutes
Your Milage May Vary.
Thanks gang.
Kevin can we get a single sticker for the van ?
B

kevin
