More than posting about my car, I just wanted to say thank you to the forum and its members. For months I lurked learning everything I could before I went to the dealer, and since my purchase I've been able to find answers to so many questions. Such a great community that I had to register to say thank you.
Mine had about 2 when it came to the dealership before its Xpel wrap. Those days seem like an eternity looking back; knowing that the car was virtually mine, but had to wait another month before pulling it out of the lot. Congratulations!

PS: Nice color!

You sir, have discipline. Can't imagine waiting a month after pulling the trigger, especially if winter is approaching.

Congratulations on your purchase! Absolutely no reason to feel shy about a beautiful car like that! Now if you'd posted a pic of a Prius...

Truly a fabulous birthday present! I've had my '16 11 months now and still go out to the garage on a regular basis (when I'm not driving it - 13,000 miles & counting) to admire her.

Happy driving and save the wave!

Great car, do you have any more pictures? I can't decide if I like WGG better with black or silver wheels.

Beautiful car! Better late than never. I just picked up my 7th Vette this past week and have loved them all. It only gets better.
