The SLC arrived this week! After changing jobs, moving from Houston to Redmond, changing colors on the car, and lots of other things in between, I'm now the proud owner of a collection of beautiful parts

The funny part about the delivery is that it was raining all night, and all morning, then about 30 minutes before the truck arrived it stopped raining and the sun came out. Then, just after my wife and I got the car apart and in the garage, it started raining again. Couldn't have asked for better timing!

Car barely made it down the driveway because of the stupid hills we have here Never scraped once, though!

Now for the obligatory pics:

Looks like the beginning of a great adventure!

What are the plans for a drivetrain? Street or track?

Thanks guys!

It's actually black, but we're surrounded by trees so everything looks green

It will be a combination street / HPDE car.

Drivetrain is going to be a de-stroked LS7 (388CI) with a Graziano.

Just finished the inventory yesterday. It's amazing how much stuff Dean can pack in there!

Great to see there's another SLC up here!

I originally ordered it in Orange when I was living in Houston, but changed it to black when I found out I'd be moving up here. Black sucks in Houston sun

Hey Mark, congrats on the SLC! Can't wait to see the progress!

Have you ever heard of the weekly "Exotics @ Redmond Town Center" event? Weather permitting, its held every Saturday from 9am-11am.

Http://www.exoticsat.com

Usually about 200+ exotics show up. We even have a local guy who has an RCR Ford GT Mark IV that comes out.

Hope to meet you. i'm usually there with either my Lamborghini Countach or Maserati Quattroporte.

I'm looking at getting an SL-C as well to keep myself occupied after I retire next year.

Hyder, didn't know you had one either. COOL! I need to come see them sometime so I'll know what I'm getting myself into!

Thanks for the info about Exotics at RTC. I just moved up here about 4 months ago, so haven't heard about it. I'll definitely check it out!

Exotics at RTC is where its at! I'm from North Bend, WA. Lived in Sammamish and Bellevue for a long time and moved down to Scottsdale, AZ a few years back. You'll love E&RTC

Keep us posted with build pics!
