Picking up tomorrow....

I am finally picking up my car after a wait that was longer than it should have been. Anyway, I already gave the dealer a list of the programmable options that I wanted. I guess my question is if there are any other issues that I should discuss before I leave the lot. Thanks.

Welcome kit - check. I'll be sure to inquire. I'll also be trying to milk them for free stuff, like apparel, accessories, etc. What's the rate of success with this?

And yes, I doubt that I'll sleep tonight, especially given that I have already taken care of everything concerning insurance and this one younger sounding girl at the insurance company said something to the effect of "Ou, very nice...what color?" I could barely say "astro black" on account of the undoubtedly stupid looking grin on my face. Thanks again, though.

Picked it up. Have been scouting the roads around my house for twists and turns and found a few gems. Was told that welcome kit is in the mail, and definitely brought my camera. I look forward to chewing up some roads in the coming days. Thanks.

Give it a very close look for scatches, little dents, etc... It's easy not to notice something and get a bunch of BS from the dealer if you report something later. Look under the hood also. Check the tire pressure.

Most importantly, have fun!!
