Congrats to your friend, who I'm sure was glad for your help & guidance. We'll welcome him to the forum.

As Uncle Ernie would say, "You all know why we're here."

Thank you Dave. It was great meeting you and I appreciate lending us your elegant plate solution.

Without going into details (about our friendship) I cannot think of a more “deserving” person than you @Prhii . Since “Jay one” my wife and I have admired you and have enjoyed each and every minute with you…and that shall surely continue. The only difference, now, is you have your own JAG! Enjoy every minute/mile and know that I/we will always have your back. Now all we have to do is…stay out of jail!

You will find this forum to be filled with helpful (often fun) information and a great bunch of people (as you have already seen). I can’t speak to too many other forums out there but this F-Type Forum has long been considered one of the best; befitting considering the iconic car it honors and the one which preceded it.

Godspeed Paul!

🙏❤️
Jay

Check the paint, Carvana is notorious for not divulging all imperfections, ask me how I know. Also, take pictures of any imperfections that are not on their website, sometimes they will compensate you for those not listed.

Thank you for the tip. The car—after not only my/our visual inspection the day we picked it up but after we had our dealer thoroughly check it out—was in even better condition than we anticipated. I think I mentioned in a previous post, the Carvana website clearly showed 4 paint imperfections and try as we might: could not, did not, find them. (We did later discover 3 tiny paint imperfections which we are getting professionally repaired later this week).

Thanks again @randyb
