My car is here! It just rolled in on the truck 45 minutes ago! My sales guy said they're really swamped and probably couldn't get it through PDI tonight, but after work I'm going home and grabbing the digital camera and going to visit it.

The only problem: I can't drive it for another week and a half. I had knee surgery last week and I'm on crutches for a while yet, and not allowed to drive. So, my husband will be driving it for me for a bit. Life sucks sometimes.

But what a great feeling knowing it's here at last!

(Put this in the lounge because I don't have any pictures yet- will get some this evening when I go visit and post them afterwards).

Congrats! Sorry to hear you won't be able to drive it for awhile -- believe me, it will have been worth the wait!

congratulations elara. now go get those pics!! how is the knee btw?

Elara,

Finally someone can show us some Nordic Green pics! I am holding off my order until I see a green car in person. I have seen all colors but the green. I want green unless it disappoints me in some way. So please take some good, convincing shots! I want something unique and I think the green with the chapparal interior will do just that.

Thanks!
Erik

Don't worry, between the pictures I get tonight and the ones I take when I get home with it tomorrow, you'll be sick of seeing green 8 pictures! I'll do what I can to get shade/sun/rain, etc. so you can see what it looks like. I've also got the chapparel seats, so I'll try to get those as well.

I'm also very anxious to see some good pictures of the green.

Congrats on the car. Hope your hubby dont go through the same thing I did when I got mine :D

Ahem... W00000000ttt! Congrats, Elara!

Good to hear your day of delivery has finally arrived!

Send in those pics ;)

It's about time. I had been wondering what was taking yours so long. You will not be able to wipe the grin off of your face for weeks. I can't wait for the pix.

It's great to see an original enthusiast FINALLY get their car.
