We returned to Naples last night after hanging around in Michigan for a week while Hurricane Wilma took her sweet time getting here, beat Florida up a bit and then left. It’s almost like a totally different place now, not because of the damage — because there really isn’t that much — but because [...]

As of today’s tracker update, my GTO has reached status code 3450 — fully assembled and waiting on the dock in Australia for — literally — its ship to come in. Now, let’s hurry up and get the boat on its way.

Newsflash: My GTO has reached status code 3300, Scheduled for Production! It looks like the 10/17 tentative build date will happen right on time.
