Default MADE IT!!!!

I made it through inspection on Friday.
Started at 7:30, arrived at Wethersfield DMV.
Unloaded the car and paid for the inspection.
8:00 am the inspector from hell approaches
11:30 am inspection is finally over - PASSED!!!
11:45 CT VIN was attached
12:00 to 2:00pm waited for registration and plates.
2:30pm drove home.
4:00pm completed the first 60 miles driving.
6:00pm insurance agent calls saying that the underwriter
didn't receive the paperwork, "don't drive the car"
6:02pm car is back in the garage

What a day. 2 years to order, manufacture, assemble,
inspect and register the car, only to be held up by some
minimum wage mailroom clerk that decided that this pile
of papers can sit for another day. Who would think it would
take more than a week to mail a document from Connecticut
to Ohio?

Saturday here in CT is 55 to 60 degrees, bright sunshine
no clouds, COBRA in the garage. Go figure.

Anyway, enough venting.
Thanks to everyone that has welcomed me to the ERA world.
Thanks to all who have helped with input, and advise.
I really look forward to meeting you as time goes on.
I have been running across people with ERA Cobras
more than you'd expect.
