VIN 086 . . . it exists!

I have seen it. I have sat in it. I have started the engine. But as we all know . . . I can't buy it. Yet. It's been a long road to get this far.

The car was dirty, other than the clean and freshly painted hood, repainted due to bird poop etching the paint. Because the rest of the car was dirty I did not choose to take any photos of the exterior. When I actually take delivery I will post photos and driving impression.

Seeing the cars in person made it way easier for me to wait for the key deal...at this point hopefully you're feeling the same way.

Congrats again and soon!!

I was supposed to pickup my car yesterday, but if I did . . . you would be looking at a photo instead of reading this post.

Long story short, I will write my purchase story after I finally take delivery, which could be today but probably will not be until next week. This latest delay has nothing to do with the key recall or the bird poop on my car that sent it off for a repaint over a week ago, and everything to do with . . . . I'll get back to you on that after I take delivery.
