For someone with all your "connections", I'd think you'd get your car a little sooner than this.

Oh well, it here now so enjoy it.

Congrats, Boo!!

Looks like I beat you by 6 hours! :p

Yup, I just took delivery of a Ti GT (Taupe/black interior - taupe? Who picked the name for the chaparral leather in Canada? ), no moonroof. We originally wanted the moonroof, but my dealer in Calgary still has no clue as to when or if he might get it in, so I phoned around last week and found a dealer 2 hours away who got this car in on Friday - as of 10:30am today, it's mine!!! (and I've got 220 km on it already )

Regards,
Gordon

Congrats Boowana! I am getting almost the exact same set-up as yours -- I actually tried to order the polished wheels at Trussville and Brian said that you ordered 4 of the last 6 available in the US. Guess you beat me to them -- post a pic and let us know how they look on the Ti Grey!

Have you thought about having the stock rims polished? I looked into this a couple years ago and think I am going to get mine done. I was quoted $150 per wheel and they would give me a set of loaner rims. Of course that was for my Z28 and 2 years ago.

Tom,

Was this someplace in Tampa/Brandon? If so, give me a name and/or phone #. That's something I may want to do down the road sometime. Thanks in advance.

Mark, Yeah in Tampa. I called them 3 years ago and don't recall who it was. I got the name from a friend of mine. Next time I talk to him I'll ask.

I think Boo is selling his house to pay for the car.

Boo, I don't think those back seats are that large....
