    Yes, but not as soon as for you, Mike. So send along some pics of yours ASAP to help get me through a few more weeks of waiting.

    No doubt I'll be posting pics. I seen in the Blizzard Brigade thread Loading... posted pics of his Three Solar which has aftermarket dark colored wheels and the TRD springs. All they need now is the body kit :p

    Also let us know if those are LRR tires or not. Hope they are :eek: I am hoping for Yokohama tires.

    Not sure if they were LRR tires or not but I'm almost sure they were Toyo tires. Don't know if that is good or bad but I guess we don't really have a choice anyway. Just luck of the draw from the port I guess. :p

    As long as they aren't Goodyear or Bridgestone tires, I'm fine :)

    So did you go look at your car today at all? :p

    Also change your signature as it ain't on order anymore :)

    Wonder why different ports install different tires? I'd think it would be a better deal to buy a bunch of identical tires rather than some of this and some of that brand. Don't know...

    If mine comes in with crap tires, it wouldn't be too expensive to replace them with the good stuff :p

    It will be interesting to see if ours have the same tires since they probably came though the port at the same time.

    Probably heading there around 3:30 or so when the wife gets off work. I took tomorrow off so I can play with it tomorrow night after we get it. :D. I'll get some pics up when I get home with it. Maybe you will hear something about yours in the next day or so!!!

    I sure hope so. Wish mine was on the same train as yours but figure like we did a while back that yours was first off the ship and mine was in the back forty :p That's OK. Get some sleep if you can. I sure know when my day comes that I will likely be staying up and arriving at the crack of dawn just to see it :eek: Gonna call it a night now. Have fun later today :) I'll be watchin for those pics ;)

    I'm in the same boat as you. My wife is out of town, my car is coming in, I have to wait until Saturday at the earliest when she is home to sign the papers. My sales lady said Monday would be best so she can make sure all is OK with the car. waiting and waiting :pout: When will the madness come to an end :p

    I'll be leaving soon to go get it. My wait is almost over and yours will be over within the week!!! It's sunny here now but supposed to rain late this evening so I hope I can get some good pics before it rains on it for you guys. Or at least get it home in the garage to get some shots of it before it does. :D
