Default My car is FINALLY here!!

As some of you know I moved out of the country. I shipped my car overseas and after waiting for 2 months the car is finally here.
I lifted the car so It wouldnt scrape.

When we took it out of the container the car WOULDN'T START!!!!!. But thats because it was out of GAS.

The car is still at the port, and I should be able to take it home this week, First thing it needs is claybar/polish/wax, etc.

Second thing it needs its my next mod. hehe

Car looks good as new. Judging from the workers, somewhere in South America? Luckily, there were no sea pirates.

IS looks great for sitting in a shipping container for over 2 months. Glad to see its back with its owner.

What hurts the most is that the car sat in Miami for 6 weeks where it was turned on twice a day to bring inside and outside of the storage.
