Sean in Texas

So, with all the scuttlebutt regarding end of production, within the last week I learned to accept that it just wasn't in the cards for me to get a .1 *sigh*

I have had my $1k in with our Northern dealership since July of last year, and was, frankly, getting tired of sitting around. I don't want another M3. I don't want a turbo anything. While softer and not what I really wanted, the F-Type and the wonderful noise emanating from that spectacular *** was starting to look really good, compared to perpetually driving my truck day to day. I figured that if Porsche announced a GTS in Paris, I would....settle. If not, a Jag it is.

Was having lunch today after a long hot bike ride, and saw that I had a missed call. Figured it was something work related.

NOPE

To wrap it up, I'm in, baby. Build is in October, and the car should be in STX the first/second week of December. I'll spare the codes, and give you the highlights: Guards, red stitching, regular color wheels, fuel tank, axle lift, LED's, smoking, chrono, Sirius, 18way seats, leather backs on them, aluminum pedals, and some other not-too-exciting things.

It's about to pour down rain, I expect the Texans will get slaughtered tonight, and I am bone tired from this morning. But I feel like it's Christmas!

My rep told me that North has 2-3 more allocations for some lucky folks on their list.

So happy for you.

Congratulations! The car is worth the wait.

All right, Ajax-Prime! Christmas it is!! Great color choice, BTW.

Lodi

Awesome!! Patience pays. Glad it all worked out. Now you will spend another month obsessing over every options selection. If you are doing leather make sure you select the extended dash and steering column. They complete the leather interior.

good for you, I'm a PANDA like 40%....wish I waited to see red first!

Nice indeed! Congrats.

Will you get it out to TWS before the track shuts down?

SPD YLO

I love guards red.
You should take a picture from above that looks like its radiator is leaking.

Arth

Congrats . Great to hear

Haku

AP, Hoooray! Sometimes letting go and leaving things for the universe to sort out is the way to go!
I'm happy for you!

ipse dixit

Congrats.

Awesome.

The deed is done. I don't know if they had someone flake out at the last second, or the dealership just got the allocation at the last second, but the car is locked, options wise. I did get the leather, and while I selected the seatbacks, I did not elect to do the column or the extended dash.

We'll see. I would take an ///M car there, but for this amount of money, I will be taking the different weight distribution curve very slowly. There's always COTA, if I don't make it in time.

So far, my experience has been pretty good. As a Looper, it's a hike up there, but I am done with Sonic dealerships.


Now that I'm (semi) legit, my name is Sean.
