Got my title and everything. Drove it last night around the big block. Felt pretty well. Needs some headlight adjustment and Im still waiting on ID cards from Grundy. Little nervous to go further without them since i feel like i would be pulled over at first site of local law enforcement until they get to know me.

Thanks. I feel it. Think the neatest part was getting my insurance ID cards. It was like its complete, and the model name on card is Exotruck. Like im an official vehicle manufacturer.
