It's Home!

The  Homeschool Coupe is home and we are very excited.  With the neatly labeled boxes, clean parts and body intact,  I can’t help but feel as though we are about to embark on an excellent Lego playdate.  Since pictures are worth a thousand words –I’ll spare you the reading time…



The Coupe was shipped via Stewart Transport.  We were extraordinarily impressed with their level of care and service.  This photo was taken from the second story of our home. In the picture the truck is parked at the closest possible location. Scott from Stewart unloaded, brought the parts down our hill and placed them neatly into the garage.  Just excellent.

"I can't believe we are actually going to do this."

 

Scott made the entire delivery experience pleasant and never even blinked at the task of getting the car down the two story steep driveway.  Here he stands infront of the body balancing it on the dolly.  I stood behind the car balancing the rear.  Tim strapped the body to my Explorer and we inched it down slowly.

Let the fun begin!



What Goes Down Must Also Come Up

No. This is not a lesson in reflux.  We are talking about automotive transport -specifically down and up our driveway.  The donor pony, stripped of anything of value to our little automotive academy was picked up and hauled away by a highly efficient tow truck driver.  He appeared only a bit hesitant as he loaded the truck, looked up the hill that is our driveway and announced that he was proud, for the first time ever, to be able to use his first gear.  We were also pleased to be rid of the garage filling heap a full 3 days before the scheduled arrival of the FFR kit.

So THIS is why they have wheels and an engine...getting ready for the tow truck.

Bye donor.  Thanks for the parts.
