Thumbs up New car is Here!!

Yeppers...salesperson just called, she was off for a few days and the car is there, PDI has already been done and it's just waiting on detail...WOO HOO!

Timing is perfect too, my wife is off tonight so we'll cruise up tomorrow and pick here up...a FULL 15 days before my scheduled delivery time!
7 days exactly from port to dealership...

Champagne is on ice, will have a hard time sleeping tonight..weather tomorrow will be a perfect Indian summer day for cruising the coupe back home!

Congrats! It's also provides a bit of relief for many of the rest of us in that it's one more forum member cured of SBAD (Slow Boat Anxiety Disorder).

Hope you've been working out your smile muscles, 'cause they're going to be working overtime.


Congrats!

Thanks guys...earliest appointment with the tint guy is next Thursday, guy is the best there is and has done all my cars for years but he's super busy.

Talked to the salesperson, they're installing the pedal kit as promised and were waiting on the dead pedal to arrive, which should be in the early AM.
I was kinda torn on the DP after reading comments here and seeing it in pictures but since they're throwing all of them in, I'll take it for now.

This may push me back to a 3-4pm delivery time. I asked her if she had seen my car yet and she said she was just getting ready to drive it to get gas so I asked her to text me back some pictures,lol!

Not really, mine left South Hampton on 9/23 and arrived at port 10/15 and the dealership the 21st or 22nd.

My car was 17 weeks to the day from start to finish and a full 2 weeks ahead of schedule just like my GM said it would be...so hold out hope for those waiting, your time will come too!

It doesn't seem like you're really all that excited about it. LOL!
Like a kid trying to sleep on Christmas Eve.

A big congrats Buick!! I know I'll be the same.

Well I somehow made it through the night,lol...our schedule is to leave home around 10am to arrive in SJ around 11-ish,hopefully the dead pedal will arrive this morning and if not, it'll just give me an excuse to drive it back next week to have it installed.

I hope to post some pictures up later today...now they're talking rain later tonight and into tomorrow.

Not yet. The thing is, I want to put 305's on the rear after I wear out the original tires. Don't know if that would be too much combined with the spacers.

Now, just remember to read page 142 of the owners manual before driving off.
