I would be that guy that left the yellow protection strips on the front spoiler.

I would also want all the docs and paperwork. I did that when I bought my Monte SS brand new in 87.

FWIW, I'm a Gen X-er and ABSOLUTELY HATE BLACK WHEELS. The black has no style, covers or disguises the detail of the wheel and just looks terrible IMHO.

Worst trend in cars that refuses to die.

No, the brake dust just makes the black wheels look like fuzzy, black wheels.

Heading out at zero-dark-thirty tomorrow to get the Heckitty. Picking up my son at college on the way. I got the truck and trailer all ready to go. Fingers crossed!

Left at 5:15 am and got back to the house at 6:30 PM. Mission successful, including dropping the boy back off at college just in time to get ready for his Saturday night date.

The old 1995 diesel K2500 Suburban ran great and pulled the 1991 Pace trailer just fine. Used around 35 gallons to go 450 miles so that's about 12.85 MPG

I'm exhausted.

Here's couple shots for the moment.

BTW, I learned today that this dealership (Koon Tysons Corner) isn't just the largest Hellcat dealer in the US, they are actually the largest Dodge dealer in the world! I'll post more lot photos tomorrow of all the "ready to deliver" Hellcats that are sitting in what they call their "pit" area. They have a separate off-site lot that serves as a massive staging area for incoming cars. They said that 90% of the cars in their facility are ordered/sold cars.
