Default New car time

After waiting for nearly three months, I finally picked up my M2. Brought her home a few hours ago, very excited!

Long beach blue metallic. I believe this color is unique to the M2.

Nice.

Enjoy it......but watch out for those NYC potholes with those alloys and low-profile tires.

Yes, of course. Bought tire and wheel warranty. On the m235i that I turned in, just this winter I had to repair two rims and replace three tires.

You will have a blast with your new car, enjoy.

I don't have paint protection film on my NSX either, it's a car to thrash around, not put in a museum.

Thats exactly how I view it. Not saying that I don't get bothered by chips and scratched, but I don't lose sleep about it. I'm paying a pretty penny for the car, so might as well enjoy the hell out of it.
