Default It's Here!

FINALLY! After four + months, of calling, watching marinetraffic.com, and waiting, the 350 is at the dealership. Got the call last night. Now I just have to pick it up. It is the wifes car and she is not able to go until Saturday. So we have to wait a couple of more days. I would just go and get it. But that would ruin the show they put on for delivery. Especially since we are in the DTR season. She is all excited about that red bow. The excitement will wane when the first payment is due. Oh well, the camera will be ready! I will certainly post a pic or two!

Good man, Moose. The pageantry/show is important to women from my experience.

You've got that right. It is all about the show, for most things. And this for sure is one of them. Those dang commercials don't help! LOL.

Congrats!! I've always had black interior cars, but I've got the light gray in my Nebula 3IS. Very striking, she should love it.

Great news. Post some pictures of the car. I think it's close for me too but my dealer still hasn't got confirmation that my car is on the rail on it's way even though ro-ro boat came in on 12/6.

I think it's your turn to get your car.

Thanks everyone. It's been a long wait. With just one more day to go. We take delivery at 9AM sharp tomorrow. Funny, my dealer schedules deliveries like he is a doctor scheduling patients.This forum has made the wait a little less painful. Getting to see all of the pictures of the car and reading about all of the accolades and gripes of everyone has been very educational. I can't wait to get my hands on the car. Although it will be brief hold. Remember, it is the wife's car!
