Ladies and Gentlemen...

My 100 day wait is over.

A few pictures just before backing into the garage for the first of many coats of Zaino.

From order date to delivery, 100 days!
Yes, it's rust, I drove it home in a freak shower and put it away wet last night, don't worry, it won't be there long

still a beauty...even with the nasty rusty discs...

I'm in MA too...just starting to get some nice dry SNOW FREE roads to wind her out...

the trac control is a hoot....slide her out a bit...TC brings her right back in....almost afraid to turn it off...might end up heading toward where I came from...

got the Plat Graph....couldn't decide between the two...went with the equip pkg on the PG....what made you get the AG?

does it seem to have more metal flake to you?

It has a ton of flake in the paint, it changes color by the minute.
I still don't know what color my car is!

I thought the PG was a bit flat, it's different from the 03 coupe's Diamond Graphite, which I loved.
The Amethyst is just different.

maybe not quite as sparkly...but PG has a lot of shine and enough sparkle when clean...

I was looking for more consistency of color....kinda wanted black...then I woke up and remembered I live in NE...and I want my car to look clean for more than two days a year...

^^ "Cryogenically" LOL.

PG has a shade of brown to it while AG has that blue/purple hue.

Both are very nice color but I hope they had a "real" dark grey color. Like pewter grey.

Nice pictures!!

Did you get a chance to drive it some more? Are you getting hit by snow? We are

I suppose you can say my order is over that 100 days.

Yes, it's snowing now, and no, I drove it home and parked it in the garage on Thursday.
I washed it and rubbed it down with clay bar, then washed it again, now it's ready for Zaino, which I'll do today and tomorrow.
The short ride I had proved that the car is vastly improved over the 03 coupe, very quiet inside, and takes the bumps much better.
The steering is quick and the brakes grab nicely.

The only interior issue I see so far is how poorly they did joining the metal trim where the doors meet the dash, I do a lot of woodworking, and could have done a nice compound miter there.

If the sun comes out tomorrow, I'll take a few more pic's and get it out for a ride.
