From pissed to ecstatic is 1.2 seconds!
In order to tell this story, I first have to give a little background on my situation: I have been away at Army Combat Skills Training (CST) for the last two weeks and was fortunate enough to be getting the 3-day President's weekend off to go home for a short visit before completing 8 more weeks of CST followed by 6 months in Afghanistan. I was so excited that Marlylandspeed had sent my exhaust out via UPS and it was to be delivered Thursday...just in time for my weekend trip back home for install! Unfortunately, UPS tried to deliver my exhaust on Thursday when my husband wasn't home, so he called to arrange to pick it up at the UPS Warehouse on Friday. Well, he shows up at the UPS warehouse at 1230 on Friday only to find out that they closed at 1200 for the President's day holiday weekend!!! WTF??? They couldn't have told him that when he made pick up arrangements??!!!??!!?? Now we can't get it until Tuesday and of course, I will be back at training so the install is not going to take place for some time now....my husband won't even think about touching my car when I am not around (believe it or not, I am the mechanic of the house). So, needless to say, I started out the day pretty torqued at UPS and was rather bummed that my weekend plans of exhaust install were foiled. Then, my mailman shows up with this in the mail which sent me from from pissed to ecstatic in 1.2 seconds!!!
Thanks to Mike Judge (Super 60) and the Oshawa build team for building this absolutely wonderful work of art called the Camaro. To me, my RJT is more than just a car...it has sparked a passion and a fire within me that I have never known before! It has also brought me close to a group of wonderful people known as C5 members that I am sure I will have as friends for a lifetime!! I am truly honored and blessed to have been selected to receive litho #187 and I will cherish it forever!! Thanks for brightening my life everyday!! God Speed!

You got that one right. Mike and the Oshawa team are the best and he obviously thought very highly of you and all that you have done for your country and your Camaro that you received a Litho. That is so very cool. Congratulations !!!! Last edited by speedster; 02-20-2011 at 04:43 PM. |
