Reunited, and it feels so good.....

Hands down worst part of ED (besides worrying about my car throughout the ED experience), is the painful wait after sampling greatness. No doubt waiting for your car to arrive stateside hurts, but a little ignorance is bliss if you are someone like me that procured the car having never even seen one in the flesh. 41 days after drop-off in Amsterdam, she arrived on my birthday and joined the stable.

Car looks great, love the garage floor. Is that a racedeck? That's my next project is to redo the garage

Thanks for the kind words all, yes I do like to hang out in there

. Floor is actually porcelain tile....it was clearance stuff at home depot and it costs less w/ mortar and grout than racedeck type floors (had one of those in a previous home). One of those things that are great in theory until you tackle the project...it was a pain!

Since its a porcelain tile, have you had any issues driving over it? Slippery when wet ?

I haven't had any problems for the 2 years it's been down. Can definitely get a little slick if saturated, but there are liquid products you can apply to make it tacky if needed. Will definitely do that if/when I share my space so I don't contribute to a wipeout for someone not paying attention!
