No word from my MA yet about scheduling delivery, but I got my check from PenFed yesterday!

My MA's named Hans. I doubt you'd all want pics...though he is kinda cute.

I've still gotta fill out all my PenFed paperwork before I hit the dealer tomorrow, so that should take up some of my time tonight. Its gonna be hard to sleep though!

Just called my insurance company and added the MINI.

Oh my gosh Janet, if I were you, I think I would drive over to the dealer when they open up and try to find my car. Maybe if you are there in person, and tell them you would like your car today, they will expedite the final prep so you can drive it today? I wish you the best of luck today, go get em'

Picked it up this morning! The drive is amazing, definately hard to keep er under 75.

The cover for the rear towhook seems to be gone... I don't recall if it was there when I drove off... but it was gone when I got home. Gonna have to talk to my MA and see if I can get a replacement.

I'll post pics tonight
