FINALLY!! Outstanding news! I know the wait has been tough for you. Post more pics soon! Isn't it strange when you finally see it and it sinks in that its really yours? That was one of my first thoughts. It's real, and tangible, it's finally here and not just a build sheet on a piece of paper. I hope they get it prepped for you ASAP so you can start enjoying her!! Keep us posted!

Thumbs down are you kidding?

thanks for all the great comments gents! unfortunately, i've used the only car dealership in the universe that is closed on sundays! so i can't get the car today, and due to work conflicts and that the dealer is 1.5hrs away, i'm stuck waiting until thurs or friday...

so sorry for the hurry up and wait message...i'll be sure to post great pics once i finally get her. (yes chup, like yours, she's a she!)

here are some dealer shots to tide me over.....

I think I have forgotten some of your specs. Would you mind posting them again. Especially the interior colors. It's kinda hard to see in the dealer pics, looks brown and light grey? Not sure, but whatever it is, it looks fantastic. I don't recall seeing that color combo before.

Post pics ASAP, when you get her.

Mine got to the dealer on a Friday and I couldn't get her till Wed afternoon so I can sympathize with you. Just stay really busy at work, that's what I did to get they those last couple of days. I am also 90 minutes away from my dealer so it does make it more complicated. Just have them come get you like I did. Then you just drive home, and its a wonderful drive!!

Beautiful car and color...that may not be a standard one much longer. It's no longer offered on the Boxster.

wow really? i didnt know that...i had some buyers remorse on not doing pts or interior lts, but perhaps it will become unique in some respects after all.

dux, i am STILL very appreciative to you for the great advice. my sport design wheel will alway remind me of that exchange. funny how all these details get burned into our brains...looking forward to the last few steps here.

trysixty, glad you still caught dry weather on sunday...i was thinking what an all-world sunny day it was on sat, and too bad the chuckanut run wasn't then. but it all worked out. any video or pics? also, how did you manage the potential leo situation without radar? i'm still formulating my radar/laser situation. definitely let me know your next drive event!
