I still remember standing in my front yard getting ready to leave to coach my son's football practice when I got a phone call from the dealer who let me know they had an allocation for us.
We didn't really have the disposable income for anything approaching the 1M, but we were optimistic the education I was blessed to get would open up the needed financial doors or -- worst case scenario -- we'd sell the car for close to what we paid for it.
I never posted a full European Delivery trip report (maybe for our ten year 1M anniversary?). There have been a lot of ups and downs since then and the memories and photos of that European Delivery trip remain. So glad we were able to do it and that we still have our 1M after all these years.
