I imagine you also love plain rice cakes, elevator music and bleak cold days on a featureless landscape.

Well, for better or worse, I made the switch on Wednesday!





Not sure if it's just my mind playing tricks on me, but in a few ways this feels different than even the 2018 I was driving. I'll see if I still feel the same way after it's been broken in a little more.

Thanks! It gave me a little heartburn on the first day, but now each morning when I go to my garage and see it, I have the same excitement towards the car like when I had my 2013.

For the car, we went about $500 under invoice and I ended up rolling about $2k in negative equity onto the 2019. As was mentioned earlier, not the best of moves, but at least I'm in what I really want.

Congrats on getting the car you really wanted! Not to mention, somebody now has the opportunity to get a gently used, low mileage 50th Anniversary model, hopefully at a great price.

the series.gray is a non-metallic paint...yes?

looks nice, although, it is very reminiscent of fighter jet gray, just with a clear coat.

Geez at o.5%... unheard of here. The dealer grumbled when I asked for 10%.
