Man oh man, that silver is beautiful! Congrats OP! I had to “settle” on a black rose metallic left over ‘17 I got a great deal on. I have to admit though. After seeing your car in silver I’m a little envious. Silver was my #1 choice. Enjoy it, you will liven it!!!

A beauty-but get that wet stuff off it fast before it melts your car.

Huge congrats. Your color combo was my first choice too - the blade silver with black accents is stunning.

Thank you so very much to all of you! It feels so good to hear all your thoughts, suggestions and kind wishes! Keep them coming, I bet I have a LOT to learn from your past experience.

For the water comments,

it's OK with me, I intend to drive and enjoy it, this will not be a garage queen at all, water will not hurt it. I am planning to track it as well, not extensively, maybe 2-3 times per year

Oh, and about the color combo: my first choice would have been Gray with Red interior, but got a great deal on this one and I now realize I like this color combo MUCH more, especially with the carbon flash accents, it looks stunning to me!
