Dealer just called. My Lightning Red Limited 6MT has arrived! Going to pick it up this afternoon. This will, undoubtedly, be the longest day of the past three months...

congrats!!

Congrats!!! Looking forward to seeing some pics when you pick it up! :happy0180:

Still waiting for my call...:(

JAG 05-30-2012 11:31 AM

Thanks! I'll try to post a few pics tonight.

houseofsuffering 05-30-2012 11:32 AM

those last moments are killer. hang in there.

I already have all my financing and insurance handled and ready to go, so the second my BRZ gets here next week I'm dumping over my desk, punching my boss and leaving work to go get it! My dealership told me they would fill it up on my test drive and that would probably be more time consuming than the paperwork part. They also agreed to PDI that doesn't include any sort of test drive, not drill the front bumper and to leave the plastic sheeting on the car. If they do everything they say and everything goes as planned I will be super stoked!

sbxjap 05-30-2012 11:35 AM

congrats man!...

I hope my call comes in soon. I work in the Philly Auto Mall but there isn't a Subaru dealer here... seeing all these new cars around here and knowing it's so close is making me anxious......

Should be relatively quick. They are doing PDI and detailing right now. Already worked out financing, insurance, trade in. Specified that they should fill with PREMIUM gas and NO dealer decal on the back. No front plates in PA, thankfully.

Lucky man

Mine is coming in June; no more details

Think it will miss the run down to Le Mans for the 24 hour race, which is a shame

Look forward to your pics

Sweet!

Here in Southern California you don't see dealer decals to much, most dealerships don't do it anymore........Carmax does it but not too many other dealers do it. I bought a car from Colorado that had one and I was like "WTF gross".

Got her home this evening and only had a chance to snap a few shots. Sorry, picture quality is not great.

JBDriver 05-30-2012 11:30 PM

When are we having beers at Sly Fox? :-)

Glad to see you got it. Sharp. I think I would have been happy with red too.

Looks fantastic, your red pics are some of the best I've seen of the car. Enjoy it!

:laughabove: Ahahah oh Jeremy Clarkson. I love the UK Top Gear. I have all the seasons downloaded on a hard drive. I must of watched them all at least twice. They're just excellent entertainment.

Lightning Red is gorgeous. It's the other color I was going to consider. It makes it look so exotic. Almost like a modern day Dino.

bimmerboy 05-31-2012 01:03 AM

congrats, Red looks stunning on this car, really makes it look exotic

Lightning Red BRZ vs Lightning McQueen

My 3 year old twin boys believe that Daddy now drives Lightning McQueen (from the Cars movies for those of you without children). Some resemblance? You be the judge...

Went from color I didn't really like in the digital mock-ups before it was released to one of my absolute favorite colors for this car once real life pics came out. If I wasn't worried about the attention it would get from the cops, I would have gotten LR in a heartbeat.

86design 06-09-2012 11:43 PM

very nice :) congrats

Zadkiel 06-10-2012 03:10 AM

Did yours have Popular Package 1b on it? The dealer I put money down on in York, PA was getting a Red Limited with the 1b pacakge, but there's no ETA and only a VON. I hope there wasn't a mix up and they're trying to sell a car they never were supposed to have in the first place.

slizoth 06-11-2012 01:55 PM

Lightning McQueen lol, I like it.
