Meet Pip!

Well, after two very long months (to the day) I finally got to bring my car home tonight! He goes back on Monday for his stripes and clear bra, after that I will take and post some better pictures. But for now, meet Pip:



Was worried about the interior, having never seen my choices in person before ordering the car, but am THRILLED with it! (My MA sent me this pic when they pulled him in off the truck!)

I really wanted to go with that interior, but I have a very light tan cloth interior in my Monte Carlo, and its not so user friendly. I think the leather will be easier to keep clean. Good luck with the car, it looks beautiful, more pics please

I was so excited I didn't even ask! LOL we had a big Christmas party tonight...spent all day getting ready for it, so he still has only 20 miles on him (I would be sleeping in the car if I had even thought about going for a drive today) I get a new car every year almost, but have never seen so many people excited to see one of them...half of our guests were in the garage at some point.

Finally, it has stopped raining long enough to take a few pictures. I'm having the bonnet stripes changed next week. This color looks a little peachy in the sun...am still going with a tone on tone, "ghost" look, but the new ones will be a more definite polar beige.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with him! He always wants to take the long way home over the mountain and through the twisties.
