Hahahahahaha, believe it or not, it's being passed down to my 16 yo son. I could sell it and get him something else but he just wants the Beetle -- devil you know vs don't. I'll hand it off to him and if he has any trouble well... he can choose to sell it, etc.

Oh, and it IS wicked!!!

 

Totally Jealous
Our Cars were ordered a week apart and mine was supposed to be built today so I hope I can pick mine up next week.

 

Good luck! For a while the trend was that cars were taking forever to ship but they seem to be coming in pretty quickly lately. My car was built on 6/9 and in my hands 1200 miles away 7 days later. I can't imagine it would take them nearly that long being that you're in Michigan!

 

Agreed considering my Dealer is about 30 min away from Flat Rock I should be rolling mid to late next week.

 

In the sun... I haven't stopped grinning since I got this car....

 

Nice!!!!
It actually appears to have a slight purple hue in those shots.
I'm loving it even more.

 

I love lookin' at 'em as much as you like taking the pics! What you need now, of course, is to get those windows tinted ASAFP.

 

Tint will be scheduled on Monday! :-) should be this week sometime though!

 

Congrats! Welcome to the club

 

Two weeks ago I ordered a GT Premium
Grabber blue Charcoal /grabber blue interior
dealer installed black racing stripes
But I am leaning towards Lave red, I saw a v6
premium at the dealer in that color
Is it too late to change the order?
The one I ordered also has the accessory pkg 5
and for some reason the factory stripes were not
available with this combination.
How do you think white racing stripes would look on the
Lava red? and the charcoal/Cashnere seats
I also own a 1970 Monte Carlo that is black cherry
not quite as dark as lava but close, It is mistaken
for black in low light situations
Thanks

 

Grats man!!! I'm so jealous, my dealer is telling me it's looking like before or after July 4th weekend for me!!

More pics!

 

At this point your only hope appears to buy from dealer stock, as Ford has stopped accepting orders for Lava Red. Don't know if it will be back for the 2013 models, but it will be replaced with Sterling Gray for the remainder of 2012.

Just got off the phone with the salesman, he said it could be changed
I mentioned the info I got on this forum stating it was discontinued.
He checked with the person that does the ordering and he confirmed
that indeed it was not available.
It didn't matter, the order can not be changed because the car
has been scheduled for production.
Any opinions on white or black stripes on the grabber blue?

 

Hopefully you get the same pleasant surprise that I did! :-)

All the pics you can handle here:

Just be aware that is just a dump of every photo I took so some didn't come out great. I'm going to borrow a much better camera once I get the windows tinted and will take a bunch more then.

 

Soooo glad to be a member. I'm really glad that Sterling Gray was off the table when I ordered because I would have gone with it and as much as I love that color, this blows it away!

 

Hey Cur,

Message me your VIN and I can track it for you.
