Please be aware, if you're headed to Louisville the shipment may arrive before you return. I didn't have the time to separate people attending Louisville from everyone else. We moved them with my Durango and the vendor's Chevy Suburban. Both were loaded to the roof including the center and right side of the front seats. Another five boxes and we'd have had to make a second trip. The only place open in the garage was the stall where CJ's trailer was parked. So brilliant here piled the cartons between the door and the trailer. The only way to get the trailer out to go to Louisville was to ship the cars. I hope that it doesn't cause a hardship for anyone. I was advised by my dear wife when she returned home AFTER ALL OF THE CARTONS WERE UNLOADED, that maybe I should have moved the trailer out before unloading, DUH!!!!
Thanks for the checks. They really helped balance out uncovered cost increases holding the shipped price to $57. It looks like I'll cover all my expenses when the final cases are claimed. Many have advised me that they still want their cases and that payment forthcoming. I sent PM reminders today to the last ten who haven't responded. Anything that I haven't received payment for by the time that we return from Louisville will be sold to those on the wait list. I probably won't be able to fulfill all of the requests that I have in hand today.

So that's the good news. Maisto let us down again. We Mike K,the vendor and I) scrambled around and sent hi-res POA logo art work to China when they requested it. They sent the card proof back, which we approved. It wasn't until we opened the first box on the pallets yesterday afternoon that we learned that they had simply added a sticker to each card. The sticker reads "Produced exclusively for the Prowler Owner's Association."

I'm personally disappointed but I guess that at least they have some personalization and the unique color. We didn't pay anything extra for the tag or logo but I don't have an explanation as to why they didn't produce to the proof they provided. We got the color that we went out for and I guess that we have the added bonus of being labeled for POA. At least they shipped on time and in the correct quantity. As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
