Default *Drum Roll* It's here!

So, I just got the call...my IS is here...woot.

I'm going to pick it up now and I wanted to get some last second advice from you all...

Is there anything I should expect to check, receive, or talk about when picking it up?

I can think of the following as far as a new car checklist goes:
  • Walk around the vehicle. Check for dents, dings, scratches, etc.
  • Turn on the radio, nav, seats, make sure everything is working and in order
  • Make sure I have my Z1 accessories (i.e. wheel locks, trunk mat, trunk net)

I'm sure there are tons of other things, but I'm scatter-brained right now with excitement.

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Ed

Got my VIN yesterday. Car should be in the dealer next week. Ordered 3/15 in Pittsburgh. blk/tan 250 manual tranny. Trying to set up getting a Clear Bra before I drive it home 200 miles plus.

Anything to add on the Pickup Checklist????? No Stickers, No Test drives are main concerns I told the dealer.

Ha, good advice.

Also, make sure you get all your manuals and keys. Oh, and while you're at the dealer, see if they'll throw in some freebies as well. I got a couple extra keychains and aftermarket license plate frames. Congrats on the purchase!
