Greetings from Washington, DC. I'm a proud M1009 owner living in our nation's capital.
Last fall I was toying with the idea of buying a CUCV sooner or later. While doing some research, ran across SS and GL websites. I was just in time for the next GL auction with CUCV's at Ft. Meade. Since Meade is only about 25 miles away from my house, how could I resist?? The wife had no problem resisiting, so it took more than a little convincing. After a quick preview, I bid and won.
After the typical first time EUC delay (auction ended 9/30/10), I picked it up on 12/14/10. The first two pics are loading it up at Ft. Meade with the help of my Dad who came down from PA. The third pic is downloading it at the homestead in NE DC. It started up w/ a jump from the GL guy and started up again at home, unassisted.
I got it titled at DC DMV which went suprisingly smoothly. In and out in 45 minutes. I contacted the DMV ahead of time, via email and asked if they would accept an SF 97. Their repsonse was that an SF 97 wasn't enough. I informed GL that DC DMV needed a title after winning the auction, so they sent me a Florida "Motor Vehicle Title Reassignement Supplement" along with the SF 97. Of course the guy I dealt with at the DMV in person said, "sure we take the SF 97, no problem."
I've been waiting for warmer weather to give it the once over, before taking it to get it inpected. However, we are expecting our second child any day now, so it may be delayed a little longer.
I'd like to thank everyone on this site for all of their helpful information! I read many threads and posts all through the process, which I think made it very smooth and easy for me. I read this stinkin' site everyday now...I think I may have a problem!
Just wondering - Am I the only guy in DC w/ an MV??
Thanks,
Steve
