thanks!! it's just incredible in person!
RadioFlyer - Oxley looks great, wow, I really like that red. It looks great in "real life." It's funny how different some of the colors look on the car in real life vs. the configurator. I'm guessing it has to do with the solid black background on the screen images. Anyway, no analysis required, that just looks sharp!
Mrs. Jimmini - that blue suits you! I really like the stripes with your color combo and your cars look great together! How long before your husband was modding your car? What's the next mod he's got planned?
SteelersFan, Nicoli, we're expecting full reports tomorrow! CThoma - PHOTOS, now, dude!
As for me, I had a great time driving to and from work today, and am really excited to drive (as yet unnamed) Clubbie up to Santa Barbara this weekend. PCH here I come!

You know I'll have lots of pics and hopefully a good story from the day's events.
We plan to drive PCH from the Torrance area all the way up to Camarillo then over to the 23 then up to the 126 and then home. That's about a 3-hour adventure not counting stops. 
Can't wait!!!

Lol ill start with fog light...no :( but its ok they light up down there thats all i was really looking for the Xenons give TONS of light so i wouldnt need them just an aesthetic touch.
The first day was fun ill tell you it was long I left at 3:30 didnt get home till 8 and that was no detours sadly it was stopping for fast food...(not in the car we went in)...I would love to take some detours and putt around but I had work this morning which I am now at so as soon as I can get the heck out of here ill be on my way to go exploring for the night!

yes WEEKS? The boat is in Charleston, SC today dropping of my MINI then they have to put on the JCW aero kit, driving lamps. Then it needs delivered to my dealer and then I'm getting a few more of the Carbon fiber JCW accessories put on at the dealer ship so I'm thinking I have 2 more weeks minimum. I telling myself three so if it comes sooner I happy rather than disappointed!
I happy for you all I love the pictures. It is almost as fun watching you all get your for the first time.

Hey Msjimini!! LOVE the color! I obsessed about what to wear to pick up Stella too! I even ran out of my house to my neighbor's house and said "HELP>> JEWELRY ME!!!" She sells Silpada and has TONs of awesome jewelry. She hooked me up before I left. So funny.....
CThomas, Our cars look very similar, even the wheels!! I love it!
Steelersfan.... HELLO??? Did you get it yet??
Brad, GREAT car.. I love the color and the roof rails. They are so sharp!

. I would suggest to everyone to make sure everything is tight--when we got to the Mini Shop after driving from the dealership 3 hours (I put 200 miles on my car already and have not even had it 24 hours!), we found that the antenna was loose and when we put on the heat shield, two of the 4 bolts on the turbo were loose. Might recommend taking to a mechanic and paying to make sure everything is tight unless you can to it yourself .

Not a big deal, really - but I thought I might get a couple days with a pristine paint job!
I'll get my wrenches out when I get home!
