My New Baby!

I don't have her yet, as I just finalized the negotiations over email today. But I do have the loan in order, and the paperwork will be completed tomorrow. I hope to get her home on Saturday.

Here she is on the showroom floor. Moonwalk Grey Justa with MT. She's soooooo purty

Thanks, I'm totally psyched

Options: sport package, premium package 2, and cold weather package, and keyless entry Everything I wanted! Specs say it also has a storage package and an armrest. Not sure what the storage package is exactly, though.

Got mine yesterday!

Congratulations! That color is really nice!

Picked up my MCS yesterday during a wild thunderstorm (MA promised me sunshine). It is a completely awesome car. Spent most of today cleaning off the road mess from the rain. I will try to upload better pictures soon. This one is from a milk run tonight. I stayed with the car while the fetching Mrs. Tektura picked up a couple things. Not quite comfortable leaving it alone in a parking lot full of Neanderthal drivers.

You want it =) It was one of the options the most people regretted not getting. It adds the adjustable flat floor in the back of the trunk with the supporting hinges, a 12V outlet in the trunk too, and some random nets and such all over.

Congrats on the new car!

Tektura, nice! Love the blue. I had wanted a MCS but I also wanted certain options and couldn't afford both :/

Thanks, SeppTB. Good to know. I love the iced chocolate, too. I like vanity plates and my husband said if I got the iced chocolate, I should get SHTBOX as the plate. LMFAO

Yup, same color. I think the whole car looks really classy, and I think the 16" wheels look way better than the 15". But that's my opinion

Once I get it home I will post some here. It's still at the dealer. I negotiated via email and I'm out of town so I can't get it till the weekend.

Nice looking car. I had never noticed the 3 body colored front grill bars before but that looks great. Flame spoke wheels are great, I had them on my 2007. I hear the Justa with manual transmission drives very similar to the R56 MCS. Part of me still wishes for an F56 to this day.

Are they body colored? I wondered too, but on mine they look roughly that color in low/not-sunlight light too, so I couldn't tell for sure. The grill bars aren't chrome, they're a more matte finish in general.

The slats in the grille are actually a matte aluminum color on the Justa. In the photo, though, they do look awfully close to matching that Moonwalk.
