I don't know why, but it really does! LOL

Let's see how it feels to finally see it in person!

haha...thanks!! I'm sure some on the forums are like: be done with the whining already!

But the info and interactions here definitely kept me sane through the process!

For sure. It's taking a LOT internally to just keep working...definitely distracted!

It actually works out better for both my wife and I if we pick it up tomorrow, so not too worried about it...just antsy!

Congrats bud!

I'll second that request. It would be great to get a sense of what ship mine might be on once it gets loaded.

Picked up the car today!

Took a few quick obligatory photos just so I can post and confirm here that I picked it up...because without pics, it definitely didn't happen.

A couple of quick things I'll mention briefly for now:

- Today was an adventure because I planned on trading my current vehicle in. That didn't happen. I'll explain in the near future in this thread.
- Finance guy didn't seem very happy because I turned down all the "extras".

- Had 17 miles on it before I test drove it a few miles myself
- Got the Michelin tires
- Did NOT receive the rear brake caliper clips
- Steering wheel seems SLIGHTLY left side down; I'll bring it up leading up to the break-in service
- DID receive the can-openers (MP HAS kit tool

)
- Lots of features to learn/get used to; especially CarPlay (I know, I'm late to this party, but my prior cars didn't have this)
- I would describe the ride as firm, but not rattling...wife described it similar to my other car, but more rigid/tight because it's newer. That's what she said...literally.

Thanks for sticking with me through the journey until now. I'll likely continue just using this thread for my own updates with the car, so I don't start redundant threads for no reason.

xtougher I am really starting to not like you! I was pretty much all set on ZB but freakin Alpine White looks so damn clean! God damn it!!!

In all seriousness, congrats on the car my man. It looks amazing.

LOL

I have a "type" as someone else had mentioned before as well.

I think the white with black bits is my favorite combo...I do like other colors, but my opinion of them may fluctuate a bit...but I'll ALWAYS like the white.

Not that this is helpful to you at all!

But thanks for sure...I'm glad to have finally joined the club!

I agree with you with regards to the black bits popping with a white car and that is why I am seriously considering it. I want to get some M Performance parts with the car and I think they will be a better contrast on a white car then a ZB car.

Congrats! That is a beautiful car. Let us know your thoughts on the 6 speed manual as start racking up miles. It's taking me a while with mine to get used to it (hit 1500 miles this week).

Do the cars leaving SLP leave at Altamira or Veracruz? Altamira looks way closer to SLP.

Thanks for the link.

I have plans for a handful of pieces to add to help "round out" that white with black look for sure. I did get the M performance rear diffuser from the port to get started!

Absolutely. For now, I'm just concentrating on watching those RPMs...LOL

Do you mind sharing how much the rear defuser cost for port install? I was kicking around the idea of getting that as well. Currently, I was going to option the MP HAS kit and the Carbon Fiber front Intakes. I really wished the M Performance spoiler covered the entire truck lid but it does not so I will go aftermarket for that.

Thanks In Advance!

For sure!

The rear diffuser was $1,310 installed at the port. Could I have found it for less somewhere? Sure. But it was convenient and was on the car at delivery, and was part of the sticker.

I would have thought about the trunk spoiler as well, but I'm leaning similar to you: finding something aftermarket that covers the width of the trunk.

Now, I have to decide on those other things, like the trunk spoiler, front lip, etc. Decisions, decisions... haha

Looks beautiful. I am now very partial to the frozen grey but having had the Black for 9 months, still loving every day with it!
