Congrats it's stunning! Have black cars and even with coatings clear bra - they get the special treatment. I have two coats of clear bra on the black cars in the areas most likely to get debris.

On a spirited drive a brand new Lusso was behind me - when we arrived he bragged how well he kept up. Told him go look at your hood - weeks later he had the bumper and hood painted 6 months later he sold the car.

I’ve learned that the hard way before. Tailing people close on streets on spirited drives, behind cars with big fat rear tires worse than being on a track in my experience.

I couldn’t imagine breaking in a car like this. What a blessing!

dude, I can’t wait to connect for a drive with our “girls” - black is so great on this car. Let’s be in touch once the weather improves in the NJ/PA part of the world

One of the more rewarding parts of this journey - having purchased a one-owner car that had driven, not a garage queen, but somewhat neglected on the cosmetic side - now making the car "my own" and the first place is in restoring the car to as-new condition as possible. First cosmetic and mechanical in the coming months. While I wish the car were in the garage today to drive, I'm excited to know its going to be a visually stunning once it gets back home

Unreal maiden voyage experience...the car feels literally new and it's not even out of break-in period, it's kind of like time travel.

it was 39 degrees, it's not gonna explode 😂. Really the only cars that shouldn't be driven under 40 degrees much is basically any car that's wearing semi slicks rubber wise given the potential cracking, but eh as long as you dont leave them outside for long, it's not the worst thing either. Unreal driving one of these as if it's almost new though, something incredibly special there to say the least!!!!!

Here's one that I took at work. IIRC roughly 300 miles on it. This was about a year or two ago.

Presume you have new tires! I've got some cars that anything below 45 degrees and I can't keep it straight on the road!
