Another advantage to taking the car with all of the "wrappings" is that the dealer won't be using YOUR car to give someone else a TEST DRIVE.

If you ordered the car, they won't. It's considered sold on arrival.

You should have left on the plastic for better paint protection.
In fact, you could have put more on and been back to your original color.

I requested the car only be mechanically PDI'd as I wanted to remove all the factory protection and wash/wax it myself (I hate scratches). I got the car with only 3 miles on it. I'll post more pics very soon!
I think your 3 miles might be some kind of a record. I thought mine was the lowest when it came with 4. Nice!

Just 3 Miles...? They all used to get tested on the autobahn... I guess Reinhold Berthe or whatever his name is must be out of a job... http://homepage.mac.com/jf0406x/Pors...Theater55.html

How many hours per day do you spend searching on Rennlist?

The garage is of a good size but if the door is opened all the way it comes close to one wall so I saved them just for this reason.

Thanks, it is a record for me too as I've never bought a German car with less than 7 before.

LOL .. Zero

It's my mind that does all the work. I'll often recall a thread and then enter a keyword, and presto, it pops up. Takes all of 15 secs to do that.
