It's Here - Now What?

The Bearcat was delivered on 9/2.  It started right up, for the transportation guy and came out of the truck under it's own power.

The paint and interior is about what I expected.   We were working when it was delivered so, I took a quick spin down the block and parked it for later.

As we started to go through it, we made many new discoveries.  
  1. Remember the car came from Chicago. When we opened the trunk it was damp.  It was damp behind the seats and the carpet was damp.  Being from Colorado, we usually don't have that because we are in the single digits when it comes to humidity.   
  2. There were cobwebs and leaves throughout the car, including the engine bay.   We knew we were going to have some cleaning to do.
  3. I couldn't reach the petals.    I couldn't get the seat to slide and I was practically laying down.   
  4. The sunvisors were broken and the side windows were yellowed that you could not see through them.
  5. We have no where to park it.   It's going in the garage and my Prius will have to sit outside.
  But you know what - It's still cute as can be and I really like it.
