Default Blue finally arrives !

Last Friday, March 17, the wait ended. We picked up 'Blue' in Kernersville, NC. Not a scratch or swirl mark. It had a full tank of petrol and was ready to go. After a test drive, crash course on features and amenities, signed the check, temp tags installed and walkie talkies for the trip home to ole' Virginia, we hit the road.

Our Montero ran blocker for bugs and rocks. We arrived in VA , 157 miles later with just one bug hit, on the big *** passenger side mirror. Love those mirrors ! The car turns a lot of heads on the superslab. Had to take a few back roads too. Those headlights are very nice too. I was glad to see the Dunlopson the car, they are very quiet and smooth. The 350 demo I drove last October had Pirelli rags, they were very noisy . could have got $2350 of msrp on the demo car. pass.

We love the car! It does look better in real life than pics.
Casey: haven't seen any other 350's or 250's on the roads around here south of culpeper.
Maybe the longest wait so far? 4 months 3 weeks. Lux Package is awesome! Going to Charlotte NC tomorrow to get a clear bra installed Friday Morning at Ultrashield.(DaveGS recommended).
Did I mention we really love this car?

AWESOME DUDE!!! I really like the pic, one of the best BOP's I've seen. Makes me happy with my color choice. I guess great minds think alike I got cashmere interior so we'll be able to tell them apart. Hadn't seen you on here for awhile, figured you were out "breaking her in". Enjoy .

yes it's gorgeous. Happens to be the same color I have ordered, only with cashmere interior and the chrome stock rims. I will attempt to post a pic, if I can figure out how.

Excellent Pic, that is probably the best pic of that color to date I've seen on the net, look at how the sun is highlighting your color in different sections of your car, amazing.
