Fedex sux big time. I have never had one good experience with them. UPS FTW. Last time Fedex shipped my wheels over from the east coast. 3 out of 4 of them were damaged.

ouch...looks harsh. Call 1800-GOFEDEX, let them know and they'll put in a claim and refund your money. I work for FedEx and it's always sad to see how someones carelessness can ruin the experience with the entire company...

Hey man, your car looks sick in person! Excellent choice. I was drooling over it before I even realized it was you in the car. I used to have a 1st Gen. RX-7 and I loved it. Even with less than half the HP of the RX-8, the RWD and 50/50 weight distribution made it soooo fun to drive.

BTW, did you do some donuts out there at ex-Agilent? Looks ripe for the rallying. I've had my eye on that lot for a while, but it was always gated shut and had a bunch of heavy equipment in it.

Thats why any good shipper shells out the extra $10 and puts the product box inside of a strong cardboard box to help absorb abuse/avoid damage
