Finally I won't have to ask for pictures so often. Dealer is a little overwhelmed at the moment with all the new cars coming in. Hope to be able to pick up soon.

When it is totally cleaned up you will feel so much better! I know I did.

Well, that does it for the driving season in Massachusetts with a decent snow storm coming in tomorrow night. I had the car cleaned up last week and now it's plugged in and tucked away until spring.

I have thought about moving to the east coast a few times, but the concept of not being able to golf year round, nor drive my GT4 during the winter is rather mind blowing, i just cant wrap my head around it, LOL. I guess pros/cons for anywhere you live!!

There are a lot of good things about living in New England, but I agree - the winters are not one of them. Not much beats a New England summer, but the winters definitely make you earn them.

spent the better part of 4 years in Boston and now in LA.. spot on. Something so incredibly special about summer in New England and I still try and get out there every year. Wake up, waterski on Winnipesaukee, hop in a car and make it to Kennebunkport for Oysters at sun-down. Heaven, just doesn't get any better.

But talk to me in February/March and I'll tell you that leaving LA just isn't an option... LOL.

Beautiful car guys and chalk seems very popular, how is it different than metallic white?

Not at all the same, you would need to see them in person, Chalk is non-metallic and distinctly darker than white when seen in person, pictures really don't show this well.

First off, it's not a metallic color. Chalk is an interesting color like how Miami Blue is. The way both colors show in pictures don't do it justice and it simply very difficult to capture in pictures. You have to see it in person because depending on lighting conditions, the color will "shift" a little. When I see it in different lighting, it kind of shifts to almost a grayish color. I think Chalk will go down as a classic color in the future because of it's uniqueness.

I see that the Pantone Color Institute has named the 2021 color of the year as Ultimate Gray...plus Yellow (Yes, two). Ultimate Gray is almost chalk for me.

2020 was classic blue...

Looks like good choices all round, guys

Interesting, especially as I choose Chalk with yellow accents for my Spyder...
