Smile My 2012 Roadster S has arrived

I will be picking up my Chili Red Roadster S tomorrow at 1:30 in Beaverton, Oregon. Hopefully I can sleep tonight. Had to wait for two weeks for it to be trucked from California.

Love it!!! I have a Chili Red Roadster S on the way too. So nice to see one to remind me of what I ordered. I really like the black rims, but when I was honest with myself, I knew I worried I would trash them since I have to a lot of parallel parking and was worried about curb rash. (I know my limits )

Looks like you got it at the perfect time to enjoy it!

Thanks for all of the compliments, I do like the black rims for two reasons: 1. it dosen't show the brake dust as quickly, 2. It looks good with the color and when the top is up which hasn't happened yet.

I still have to decided if I want to put stripes on it. I'm torn between white with a small black stripe or black with a small white stripe.

Congratulations -- she's a beautiful ride, stripes or no stripes! When you get a chance, would like to have a look at her interior, too. And love the black wheels against that sizzling chilli red. A real stunner!
