Beutiful!!!! Bravo!!!! You're going to love her!

One question though... doesn't your dealer believe in prepping the car for delivery? I wouldn't take delivery of a car with the factory "bumper foam blocks" and plastic wrap on it... that's the dealers job... unless you like unwrapping her yourself. I practically made the salesman make that diamond brilliance sound when he presented the car to me.... Gring!

She's a beuty though! Congrats! I feel like you should be handing us all cigars right now!

Thank's Guys. I will prep Her Myself,because the dealer was treating her kind of rough.The car was dirty from the back lot,and when I went to check on it,the lot guy's had merely hosed it off,and without even washing it,they were drying it with a shammy.......Paint feels like sandpaper.It's gonna need a lot of Zaino!!!!!

Beacuse he is smart.

I wonder where SVT and RN in this great moment.

C'mon boys don't hide.

I think SVT went to the washroom for a sip and RN most likely crying in a corner somewhere in his house.

What a good day.

Oh ok. Well that's good to hear. I saw that you have a bunch of Fords and I saw that and assumed it was a GT...I thought it looked a little different but I couldn't really tell since its so small.

Zozoka, Fords still outnumber all other's in My garage.So dont jump for joy yet.The 06 mustang Gt is a great car,and I was sorry to let it go,but Im in My 50's and it's about time I bought a ''grown up car''

Arizonag35,I will see if I can get those cigars from the same place that Clinton got his at.

NICE CHOICE!!

I highly recommend clay bar then a staged wax system once a year best to start now.

I also highly recommend a clear bra. The Infiniti paint chips like nothing I've ever seen.

I also highly recommend a Fujita/AEM dry intake kit that does not require oil when you clean your filters.

Nice car...... and "welcome to the club"!!

How about toilet paper? Any recommendations there? lol

I agree with Jeff, except for the clay bar. Since I have no garage, I'd do the clay bar every 2-3 months.

No but I suggest wider lower profile tires and replacing the stock mufflers with Magnaflows, the cats with high flows.

I'm good at spending other peoples money

Thanks for the compliment old man! Careful... you don't want to compliment me too much or I'll get a big head! (myself) Oh wait, I already have a big head!... seriously, my melon looks like a swollen tick ready to pop in that picture! Now i'm sad... I'll just go home and cry myself to sleep... ON MY HUGE PILLOW!

I seriously think that I could have been the model for all of these animated smiley icons! Here's my high school class photo

Don't apologize... I'm flattered.

Besides, unless photoshop has some new fangled anti-chunk feature that I'm not aware of then I don't think you could have done any better with my mug!
