Quick drive to Zion National Park w/pics...

Went to Zion National Park this morning for a quick drive as I live only 45 minutes away. Have been at least a hundred times over the years. Didn't actually go inside because the line was horrible as you can imagine for the holiday weekend. So snapped a couple of pics and turned around and went home. No problem. I knew it'd be busy and that was my plan all along.

What a car and the scenery is beautiful. I wish I lived there 👌

What's the best thing you like about your car (apart from the V8/sound)?

Man I remember when I first got my coupe I couldn't believe it. So much so I wanted to sleep inside it because I loved it so much.

Beautiful car. I'm so jealous.

6 months later, mine still has not shipped. All these threads of similar builds making me go bald waiting for mine!

Thank you. Please keep us updated on yours. My situation was pretty much the same as @RavenM6 because I wasn't able to get an allocation and found a spec that suited me. I did have to pay 10K over sticker but shipping was 3K to my house in Utah which is 2,415 miles away from the dealer in Florida. I at least got them to throw that in. Given the environment with these cars right now. I'm happy. Although not as happy as @RavenM6 who paid sticker - lol.

Gorgeous pics, you’re so lucky to have that type of scenery less than an hour away from you.

Yeah I’m really grateful that I got a really great deal on mine at MSRP. But I found mine when there were still close to 40-50 non-FE coupes left in the country so with some persistence I was able to find at least 4 dealers willing to sell a similar spec @ MSRP. You did manage to get them to throw in the $3k shipping cost into that $10k ADM so the way I look at it, $7k over sticker is still very good in this market considering there are maybe 1-2 coupes left with a similar spec.

Here's some from winter time: The glow is from the sun hitting the rocks. These pics were taken with an iphone 12 pro max. No filters, no editing. Just a straight picture. This is up by Zion Lodge which is only open to cars from December to around February. Reason it's open because there's not a lot of tourists when it's that cold and during the holidays. I try and go almost every weekend in the winter. Been there so much that I know the cops in Springdale and a few of the Park Rangers by name. Second shot is Sweeping Rock and it's absolutely breathtaking. Now you see why I've been over a hundred times over the last twenty years.
