This thing is a stunner and suits you @wthrman2 ! Unlike your previous car, which was a blizzard, this one is giving fog.

I look forward to reading about your experience!

How is the transmission? Is it exactly the same as your old car?

Congrats wthrman2!

I'm getting mine between mid-December and early January. I'm half expecting my serial # to be in the 400s.

Car looks great and congrats! Sorry you won't have a chance to drive it until next year. I'm sure you know how to store it correctly in the winter?

I'm glad I live in sunny California where I get to daily drive mine.

Congrats! and I believe the right move given the exclusivity. You can always ****** a 350 as a 2nd vehicle further down the line.

Do not know how you folks live up north...
