Got the Car!!
I called the bank first thing this morning and they told me I got the loan!! I got the lower interest rate!
So I head over to the bank to sign the paper, I have to wait a half hour because the bank opens at 9:00!
I head over to Wal-Mart to kill some time and I wanted to check out what they had for car covers. Find a semi-custom fit cover and was surprised to see DeLorean listed on the back, size 2, $19.95. Not a bad price, and since its only temp until I can get a fitted cover, it will work.
Head back to the bank and sign the papers - got the money!
I called the owner and let him know that I got the $$$ and asked if I could pick up the car that afternoon.
Took the wife and exchanged money for title. I felt bad because I could tell the guy really didn't want to sell the car.
Anyway it was unreal! This car, this DeLorean I'm driving is MY car! My dream car is a reality! Driving through Boulder was cool. All the college kids were gawking and telling everyone around them to look. People were driving by screaming, "Your car Rocks, Dude!" or "Alright, a DeLorean!" Most attention I have ever gotten. I think I'll be driving it through Boulder often :)
On the way home we stopped and got some dinner and I parked the D where I could see it through the window.
After dinner we cruised around the mall just getting attention - what fun.
Got home late and made a preliminary list of things that needed to be fixed:
1. Fix Speedometer
2. Fix Gas Gauge
3. Replace all gas struts (swap passenger door strut for driver door strut for the time being)
4. Fix Passenger power window
5. Replace driver door headliner
5. Clean interior
