more than a week earlier than I was expecting, I received my call that the beast is in! Let me tell you, I wasnt ready for this. I plan on picking it up on Saturday, so I will post pics soon!
Thanks everyone for helping me get to this point in one piece!

Congradulations!! I am sure that you are very excited, but please do not forget to post some high resolution pics, so the rest of us poor slobs can drool over the color!!

Nice optioned car but if you'll see my earlier post the stock Conti tires are CRAP. Do yourself a huge favor and don't wait 8,000 miles like I did. Change over to Michelin PS 2s now. If you wait like I did you'll then change and say "Damn..why did I wait to do this?"

ThemisN

Actually I would change them now, but winter is coming, and I will likely keep the stock contis until i put a winter tire on the the wheels.
Come spring time, I will take the wheels off as is, and put on HREs with the PS2's. The conti's life on my car will be very short lived.

We require pictures IMMEDIATELY.

Oh, and congratulations.

Thanks Themis...You KNOW how much I appreciate those pics, since my Flint Grey is on it's way. Hope those damn hurricanes don't impede the progress of the shipping. Of course it be worse...I could be in the path myself...

Great looking car!

I suppose after seeing the car at different times of day, you could say that it has a blue hue to it. In direct sunlight it just looks like a straight grey, but otherwise I can see how someone could say that. I was wondering too why it was showing that way on mbusa.
In all I am VERY happy with the purchase. I can tell this car has a lot of untapped power. I haven't pushed this car yet, but this thing can get up and go in a hurry. MY GS had good passing power. THIS is EFFORTLESS. I never thought I could be this satisfied with a car bone stock, but I guess it's possible. The ride is fine, maybe even softer than my GS with 18's. Now I have to find someone to paint the Renntech spoiler with this new color lol. I wonder how long it would take for me to get the paint in!

Thanks again guys!

Themis- thanks so much for posting pics so fast. I only have a couple of days to change color on my order. It does look a lot like granite grey- am I missing something here? I thought it would be a lot darker.

Jay...how many steps (and how long time-wise) do you have when you "Zaino" a new car? PM if this gets too elaborate...
