It's going to Manhattan Beach although right now it is in DC at my other house since it was much easier to get it there than SoCal. I picked it up on a snowy day with a uhaul auto transport. With 4.5 inches of ground clearance to the front lip and only a inch and a half side to side on the trailer, that was quite an experience. I definitely learned some tricks by the time it came off the trailer to make it easier.
I put bricks under the rear wheels of the Yukon I was towing with.
I jacked up the tongue of the trailer another few inches.
I put the end of the ramps on 3 inches of wood blocks.
I then went from those blocks to the ground using 6 foot 2 x 10's.
I did this against a slight hill.
Came off like a charm, much less scary than how it went on..... (We got it halfway on, then put two jacks under the ramps and lifted them even with the trailer with the car cantilevered on the ramps.)
Fantastic experience buying from Steve. Wish we were closer. We also love playing poker. I have some photos of it on the trailer I will post later. Thing runs crazy fast. I look forward to getting it on the track.
Oh yea, I already had one hot chick approach me at a gas station yesterday and tell me she had an orgasm when I drove up. That beats the toothless guy in Ohio who wanted to talk for 20 minutes about it while I was towing it to DC. It certainly gets attention everywhere, even when being towed backwards.

Thank god this thing sold... It almost cost me a stern reprimand from Susie Orman...Hell, who needs a home or retirement anyways!
I have never been a fan of a yellow car but my first vette(c6) was yellow...this yellow paint on the 2006-up c6s is REALLY nice! Especially at night....never see swirls on it either.
Bad ***!
To the buyer...please post something about how fast it is...(car ****)... Hahhahha
