Introduction - Normal, IL - Full Circle for an R1T Reservation Holder

[TDWRT1]

Hi All,

New member today. Until now, been hanging out on the other Rivian forums. Kinda slow over there. I just wanted to say "hi" and share a quick story. Moved to Normal, Il in the late 70's as a young kid. Rode my bike everywhere and had a pretty uneventful upbringing. Went to grade school and HS there AND attended ISU. I was still there when the Mitsubishi Plant was announced (later named DiaomondStar) that is now the current Rivian production plant. Moved away in my early 20's and have lived all over the US. Currently in the Carolinas, but still visit BloNo (Bloomington-Normal) every year. Been on the R1T reservation list for 13 months now. Really happy for all my friends and family that Rivian is poised to be such a monster success. Maybe a few friends will be IPO millionaires? Certainly hope so. My most recent configuration is for the extended range R1T, but I might reverat back to standard. 300 miles get me to my favorite weekend spot near the coast and it sure seems like those with the standard pack will get delivered sooner. anyway, hello everybody!

Hey Mods, feel free to move this to the intro's thread. And I SWEAR I did a search before posting this in the General thread.
