Ferrari Mailing List: She has arrived!!!

[georgedodson (georgedodson]

The long wait is over. My 308 GTSi arrived on a transporter Sunday at noon. 
The transporter was the nicest truck of this kind that I have ever seen. It 
had more moving parts and hydraulics than a WW II bomber. My heart was 
pounding as she was unloaded from the top deck and onto the rear door -which 
turned into an elevator. Several neighbors stopped to look at the big truck, 
then perked up their ears when they heard the wonderful exhaust note as she 
was started up. I opted out of the detailing to get a spot on the 
transporter a week earlier. She (yes she!) is dirty, but cleaning and 
maintaining is a part of the fun. I'll post some pictures when she is 
cleaned up. I still can't believe that she is here. Like several people who 
posted replies, I find myself up in the middle of the night, going down to 
the garage and turning on the lights for a quick look. Thanks to all who 
suggested parts suppliers? I have most of them bookmarked and did a couple 
of test purchases to see how they responded. T. Rutlands came in first. At 
the risk of re-igniting the topic, the car is a she.

She:

Is sleek and sexy,

Turns heads and makes others jealous

Makes my heart pound

Makes me spend money without saying a word
