Colonel Update, August 5th

I called today to get a build status update on the car and guess what?! The Colonel has FINALLY moved along from D1 status where it had been sitting for at least a month! I got word today that the car is currently at F status (see reference below for explanation.) TODAY was the day I had been waiting for for so long. No more wondering if it was actually gonna still be built as a 2009, THE COLONEL IS ALIVE!!!!
