I'd expect you wouldn't understand being from IOU Cal-e-forn-ya. Actually, I'm as color-blind as a moonbat and told my mentor to keep me away from the turd brown HC. He obliged as I told him I was looking for the traditional British Racing Green. Being a European descendant and wanting to pay respect to my ancestors, I dutifully searched the lot and found a beautiful "green" car.

As we walked the lot, I told my saleshuman, "This is the one" and he laughed as though my pants were around my ankles as I pointed to what I thought was the the BRG, when in fact it was the Hot Dirty ***** Chocolate. He told me the true color and I said...?...come on...you know the two words that have gotten more people in trouble...that's right,
"F**** it". I told him I didn't care, it was too pretty, in a whorish way, to pass up. I wound up with the HC and get that dirty look in my eyes every time I wash her.

Other than the voices and the arrest warrants, it's been okay.

Have you found out when you get to pick it up yet? I'm thinking about ordering a Mini soon and trading the xB in for it...

You're kidding right? LOL - I made a few posts saying august 15th, and it's in my signature too. =P

Anyways, spoke with my dealer a few days ago, and were shooting for aug 15th still. Sweet, less than a week away!

It's almost the big day, tatted! The anticipation must be killing you. I wouldn't be able to sleep if I were this close to getting a new car.

Quick Picture of my new car at the dealership - they still need to add the carbon fiber hood scoop - I should be picking it up Sat Mornin

Funny, they look much more better when they're meant for you. LOL

How does this work? Is there a core return charge or do you get to keep the white one too?

*Shrug* No idea. It's built into the hood right? I always just figured the CF one fits over the existing white one.

Nah, it's a separate piece that comes out. The CF one is the same shaped piece, just a different material.
