Well everything is good to go. My flight is confirmed. I'll head out here at 5:15am, getting a ride to the airport from a buddy. My plane leaves at 7:35am and arrives in Ontario California at 11:48am

Here is my flight plan if anyone is curious:

I have the certified cashiers check from the bank for $6500.

Now all have to do is pack and get plenty of sleep!

Airbus A320 eh? That's what just crashed in the Hudson...lol.

Atleast it's a decent size plane. I flew from Myrtle Beach to Ohio on the tiniest plane ever...and it was SOOOO uncomfortable.

Wow man NICE looking ride, and great find. That's an awesome price for that. I'm looking forward to the thread where you rip everything apart and detail it, because we ALL know it'll happen :wink:

No worries, I do the same.

Not too certain that's what I was aiming for, but suit yourself.

What are the numbers for the N*, anyhow?

I'm not really sure how I just found it. Your new signature looks pretty good. Can't wait for the awesome vanity shots. Please keep the car at least until a nice, sunny day when you can get some amazing pictures. Also, it's a good thing the car won't get heated seats at least until you return. Make sure to crank up the A/C to keep yourself nice and cold for the long drive.
