First Virginia Maryland Region get together is March 29th in Severna Park. Lot's more going on than just the Crab Feast. Ther are usually about two events a month. PM me for details on how to join VCA. You will be one of two in the Region that color. The other is in Ellicot City. I expect he would be there, you can get a picture of your twins. Ask Gary about this region, he's been a member for a long time.

Gary called yesterday and he's back in business. Has me scheduled for this coming up Saturday to deliver it to the house. Can't wait...Hope he has good weather crossing the country and nothing changes his schedule(keep your fingers crossed).

congrats reel. have fun with your new toy. i was wondering, how much does it cost to ship a car? do they charge by the mile. what are the rates? thanks.

[reelsteel]

ViperJay...Not sure how they come up with cost. I did some online thing that went out to about 10 different shippers and got back a range anywhere from $500 - $1200. Not sure why such a big range. Then I started to read the horror stories about all the shippers.
Called Gary to see how busy he was(I think he lives in his truck) and he punch in the cities and gave me a great price over the phone( btw...nicest guy you will ever talk to). He had a great schedule set up, until some guy hosed him in CA and cancelled his shippment back to FL. Once back in FL he was to pick a Ford GT to deliver to MD and on the way pick up my '06 in NC(he has a 2 car enclosed trailer). Everything was going as planned till he found out almost to CA that the guy in CA cancelled. Now he has an empty trailer coming back across the country. Not good with fuel prices at what they are and hauling a trailer.

I feel your pain brother! I was very interested in a Viper, but was told the car had been sold. The day before I left to do the Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico the seller called and told me the buyer had backed out and asked if I was still interested. I sent a deposit, but had to wait a week to get back home and set up arrangements to get the car.

Now I'm in the same situation again with another Viper. I was outbid by a sniper on eBay 20 seconds before the auction ended and I was at work (with no access to eBay) getting a second-by-second update from my wife at home. She told me I was outbid and asked what she wanted me to do, and by the time she put in a higher amount the auction was over. The seller is talking to the buyer to make sure its the right car for them as it is pretty modified and it is the buyers first Viper. I have the patience of a kid on Christmas morning, so this is REALLY killing me.

Talked to Gary at lunch today and he's in TN, going to drop off a viper in SC and then head up and get mine in NC tomorrow. Said I should have my new girlfriend Friday night or Saturday morning. Of course now it looks like some chance of rain for the next 10 days!!! go figure!!! Everyone can thank me for no droughts this year in MD.
