Default Upgrade!!!

Just visited Mike Furman today and upgraded from my 2014 M7, 2LT, non Z StingRay to a Sterling Blue 2017 Grand Sport, A8, 2LT. Amazing experience. Mike is a class act. Call him. Go see him. Do something, but check them out. Had me in and out with no problems. I'd do it again. Just one quick pic for now, more after it stops raining. Oh, that's Mike in the car.

Beautiful choice! Sterling Blue reminds me of a vintage racing color--really appropriate for a GS. Congrats!

Congrats! Mike Furman is in a class all by himself, that's for sure. BTW, I LOVE your wheels; I know they're the standard ones but I'd pay extra for them if I had to, they look that good.

I got polished face wheels on the Sterling Blue GS I bought from Mike. I like them but could have been about as happy with the standard wheels. Judging from photos here on CF I would guess that Mike has sold more Sterling Blue Grand Sports than anyone else. Wait that would actually be pretty easy for Mike since he already sells more C7s than anyone else.
