Genius said I was still at Week 42, but seeing that you got pushed back, I wonder if I will be, too.

Thank you for kind message! Congrats on yours! Put some pictures up when yoy get it

Will do. They should look just like yours since we have the same exterior options -- yours presumably by choice, and mine by sheer luck (i.e., how my dealer configured the car before I found and bought it)!

Dude you need someone with a good camera eye to take pictures on the flats!!! I need to see those!

I've got a friend who does the opposite and he was the one I trusted with a car opinion and we settled in this one.

I use the parking assist that has the 360 view, if anything I'm nervous. It will show you very accurately how close you are getting. I get nervous so I usually pull up short but this parking assist is super handy at calming my anxiety!

Looking forward to that call. I've been prepping my garage for the past few weeks. Also have to clean my BRZ and prep for sale.

This past weekend I took my car back to stock for trade in, gotta give it a nice interior and exterior clean still.

Oh nice, haha! You will love it! It's so much better in person. In my opinion, it's the best color, contrast combo by miles! But I love that type of color.

Exciting news but my CA says it isn't at the dealership. My guess is maybe it's on a truck, on the way. Maybe? Hopefully?
