Finally got it ordered.

Don't know if you guys remember me posting a while back saying I was going to do it.

We ordered Orange (I wanted silver or red but the wife wanted orange and have to keep her happy ya know :)), Option group II, Kicker, NO SIDE AIR BAGS! (thank God you guys told me that), 19" polished with the $50 extra for better tires. Decided not to get the sunroof or NAV. We ended up paying 26,3K. Since I live in Germany, I had to pay about $1,500 for shipping, handling, etc. Not to bad I don't think. There's no negotiating price anyway ordering here through military car sales. I will be picking it up at a port a couple hundred miles away so hopefully removing the spacers won't be a problem.

Looks like it will be middle of July before it gets here :( but oh well, I'm just happy it's on the way. I can't wait to get it and start modding!

WOW Congrats, but that's gonna be a long wait!
 
$1,500 for shipping ain't too bad, we pay almost that much to ship it 8 hours by truck. Have fun with it on the autobahn, should be fun. :) , will you be able to do a lap at Nurburgring (sp ?), that would be amazing.
 
Congrats on the new order! July will be here before you know it and you will still be the only one in Europe I'm guessing! Oh, and even though black is the fastest color, all of us with wives certainly understand!

I've always loved black but my last two cars were black so I wanted something different. I hate red normally but I love the inferno red if that makes sense. I've had the orange as my desktop for so long now that it might actually be my favorite anyway. My NSRT was silver and I became a silver fan and did not like any other color on that car as much.

Yeah, July seems like forever but getting it over here takes a while and they have to build mine. I guess sometimes they can get here quicker though.

There is another guy that JUST picked up an Orange CSRT from the place I ordered mine! I didn't see it but the guy told me it looked sweet as hell in person (obviously he's going to say that).

I will love it on the autobahns for sure. I live out in the country here so there are SO many nice roads to open it up all I want. This place is heaven for driving. The only thing that will suck is how much it rains here. I came from Arizona where keeping a car clean was MUCH easier.
 
Man thats a long wait, wow Im at the 6 week mark and Im getting impatient. But thats probably because they were gonna ship it March 12th, and now they dont even have a build date for it, they know that its confirmed firm build date status, but no date. OMFG oh well now I dont feel so bad. You need to bribe your supplies/logistics officer to slip your car in with a load of HMMWVs. :) Its a matter of national security that you stay happy LOL.
