Well... after about 1 year of wishing, 2 months of research, 1 flight to Florida, and a drive to Cancun... I now have my new car!!! I love love looooove it!!! Sooo happy to finally have a decent vehicle again.
Oh, not to mention selling the van. Drove to Belize with the new owner to switch over paper work and it broke down on the way home... :-(. We're in touch with him but it sounds like the fuel pump again. Oooops.
Anyway, I have my car now and this was so much less hastle then driving it down. Only bump in the road was the guy at the ship yard that wanted to charge me for labour. Hahah... considering I already paid $1200 bucks to ship it here I'm not going to pay another $40 without any questions. Asked around the yard and found out he was full of it. He gave me a receipt, hoping I would pay it but instead I just said thanks and walked away. I wonder how many times he gets away with that scam. I was so happy to drive it out of that yard. It's a sweet ride. Handled it's first tope like a champ.
And of course, pics:
