Congrats! I'm glad someone else is having some luck! Jim

I got close to 10mpg on my way home. I think the worse tank was just under 9mpg, mostly uphill driving. It cost me just over $300 to drive 1100 miles, not counting tolls. If everything goes well, driving would be cheap. If something goes wrong, it could get expensive quick. I won't try to talk...

I'm unemployed right now and would volunteer to drive one if all expenses were covered. I don't need to make money...I'd do it for the trip. Jim

I was under the impression that as long as you have the invoice, you can pick up your truck. Keep in mind the 14-day limit...I was told that still applies. Jim

I called today and got an appt. to do my other recovery in Bordentown, NJ tomorrow. Hopefully it will go smoothly. The Knox truck runs awesome, my wife even drove it yesterday! Jim

My "tool suitcase" weighs 48 lbs. according to the shipping scales I use...Southwest allows 50 lbs. Worse case, I might have to swap the jeans I used as "wadding"...lol...to the other bag. Then I have an alice pack for my main checked bag with clothes and filters & belts in it, and the carry-on...

EUC time periods seem to have no consistency. I've seen 1st time buyers, myself included for my first sale, get the Paid In Full back in less than 30 days. On the other hand, for my auctions #5 & #6 (the two Deuces I need to pick up right now) I've been waiting officially 28 & 38 days before my...

I was dealing with 2 different locations. For N.J., I only told them about it because I got a call asking why I wasn't there at 9am to pick my truck up. If I knew they would have released it, I would have been there, and kept my mouth shut. But I wasn't driving 450 miles for the slim chance that...

Trust me, if I'd known it would have been O.K., I would have been there! Its around 450 miles from me, so not exactly something I was able to take a run down to the base just to see if I could get my truck on just a chance. Jim

At least we are getting some info now! I had a call from GL a few minutes ago. They wanted to know why I wasn't at my appt. this morning to pick up my Deuce in N.J. aua It was Kathy, she's very nice, she wasn't aware of the hold! Crap, I could have had my truck. I forwarded her my e-mail, and...

Copy and paste of the typical time limit:Load by appointment only within 14 days of a paid in full invoice. Contact site manager for appointment. Nothing about working days, GL days, or any other details. Pretty safe to assume its just 14 calendar days. Just found this in the Terms &...

The 60 day is the time limit for the EUC to be approved. Since yours is already back, you got your Paid in Full invoice, the 60-day period should be over, now you have 14 days to remove your trucks from the time you got your invoice back. Do you think this will be cleared up within 14 days...

And when I asked GL about the 14-day limit I had to remove my trucks, he couldn't answer whether that still applied. So there is every possibility that the 14-day clock is ticking, and I could lose everything I have into these trucks. I know that makes no sense...you would think the 14-day...

And we are talking about the Govt here...if it was an issue with the gauges, and they pulled all the trucks because of it, they are admitting liability. Then they have to deal with the thousands of similar trucks already in private hands. They would be opened up for lawsuits from anyone who has...

So it kind of comes down to- if you scrape the paint off from 500 gauges, then swallow it, you might get cancer in 50 years...maybe? (being sarcastic, kind of...) Jim

No problem here, if I wasn't one of the guys stuck in the middle of this, I'd probably be looking for the silver lining as well. And some of us (with a big finger pointed at myself) made posts I'm sure we regret, written in the heat of anger right after getting the bad news. I was (still am)...

Just another thought, mostly pulled out of my a$$, but pops into my head and rattles around once in a while. I've had opportunity to talk to currently active military personnel who tald me that many, many military vehicles have been, and are still being, sold to certain foreign powers. (hint...

Pull the top off and you'll be driving a big green convertible. :-D Jim

Thanks guys. I don't mean to come off as whiny or overly impatient. Its just a bad time right now, and besides the obvious financial issues, I was hoping to get into MVs as a hobby as well as make a couple dollars to help with whats going on, as well as to help support the hobby a bit. The...

I'm going to hold off from any recovery attempts for now. Unless I saw something in writing that specifically said I'd get reimbursed for realistic transportation costs (and I mean realistic to me, not whatever the govt. decides its worth), then I don't want to take a chance. Not to mention...
