I can't believe you have a 2CV. I haven't seen one of those in years! Congrats- glad you got your car. Picking ours up on the 19th of Feb, if they can get the snafu fixed!

You are going to love it...what's a couple more weeks after waiting this long.

I think the 2CV has a crush on the CM.

Ohhhh...I miss those real mountains. I went to college in Boulder and grew up in Sun Valley, ID. These volcanoes of Oregon don't qualify as true mountains in my book, but they are beautiful. Maybe I will come to Winter Park.

Wow... Very nice!! First time I've seen the CosmicBlue up close.
We to got close to 15" last evening, well over 50" so far and it's only January.
Thanks again for the picture, awesome looking. Good luck with it.

Glad the wait is over.


And another "OMG, it's a 2CV!" My dad would have loved to have one. They were a secret passion of his.

Picked up my CM tonite. All I can say is 2.5 hours of white knuckle blizzard condition driving home in new MINI IS FUN! Alright not so much! I have to say the summer 18s with all4 was impressive. I will post pics this weekend with the nikon in the sun hopefully. And connected is pretty cool.

Congrats! Good to know you did fine with the 18" tires in the snow.

Alright...pix are up in my gallery.
Washed Sully in the garage with optimum no rinse (great Product) along with microfiber mitt. Preparing for our blizzard this week...suppose to get 12-24 inches of snow on tuesday.

enjoy the pix...the car is well worth the wait. It is exponentially easier to get our kids in and out the back seats.

I'd forgotten what all that snow looked like. I'm spoiled with southern Texas. Still we have our HOT summers.

The CM looks great and I love that color. I went with a matching roof.

The cosmic does look black in those snow pictures. A nice contrast, deep too.

Hope you folks get some pavement back soon.

Our CM has been starting well in the -6 with wind chill of -25.

More over in the mods section, but this is what $20 or so of LEDS can do for your CM.

*using only the stock light fixtures, there is nothing but bulb swapping going on there.
