I drove my prize home Sunday! After looking since last spring and finally ordering one in August, I ended up finding one on a lot after all last week.
I had to cancel my order

It took me 17 hours to jump on a plane and fly 500 miles, sign the papers and then drive it the 500 miles back to home.

Not EXACTLY what I wanted, but close. The only thing I HAD to have was the 6sp manual...

2008 Wrangler Unlimited 4 door Rubicon Rescue Green/Slate GRey interior, 6 speed manual, dual top, 6 disk CD changer, Sirius SAT, power package, and deep tint windows... (pics sooner or later)

Sweet nonetheless. Glad you finally got your JK! Where did you end up going?

Oh and where are the pics.

I picked it up from McCune in National City south of San Diego. Did it all over the phone. They even picked me up at the airport. After I got home Sunday, I took my wife and kids out in it. My daughter has never driven a stick so we practiced a couple hours and my wife has never driven in 4lo, so I took her to a small area with a creek and some hills so she could try it out. They all loved it so much I had to take it to work today because I was afraid they would all skip out and take off without me

I didn't think to take the camera.. another time.

hey Toad, welcome to JK ownership. i had a similar situation when buying mine. been drooling over them since last summer/ fall. got the loan this summer and started calling/ emailing dealers that had what i wanted. i finally found one down in victorville on the lot. flew there, they picked me up at the airport. signed the papers and i was off. somewhere around 450 miles home. i actually liked buying it this way. i got to know the rubi pretty well on the drive back.
