I found mine online through auto trader. It was sitting on a P dealer lot in Chattanooga and had it trucked to Hennessey in Atlanta. There were two others already in Atlanta but both were without some of the options I wanted.

Technically challenged - and lazy - or busy. I can't decide.
I'm off this week - I'll see what I can do about that avatar.

I have been trying for past few weeks now to update my avatar as well as add photos to my profile albums. For some reason, have been unable. Keep getting parse errors- don't know what that means. 😁

I'm interested because I always wonder if all the cars at (at least Atlanta) dealers are white/grey/black because that's all people want, or if that's what people "want" because it's all they see at the dealers.
Ordered it and waited at least 5 months. Site unseen. I knew it was sort of the 'GTS color' saw pictures and trusted the word of fellow RL folks who saw it in person and thought it was a great color. I like that it looks really bright red in the bright sun, but a much darker richer red under artificial lights like in a garage at night. Very unique in that sense. Hard to show in crummy I phone pictures especially for someone who can't get a photo to load in the correct orientation!

I would have if it was wife approved. Some great deals to be had!

I'm local (Alpharetta) picked this up from Hennessy about a month ago- and love it! The color seems to shift depending on the light source- very bright in direct sunlight, but darkens considerably otherwise.

I love the Carmine Red, particularly with the GTS get up!

I'll just have to hope one drops to the used car market in the future.
