Picked up my car today from Hallmark - they brought a silver one over from Chilliwack. Car was in fine shape - gaps are pretty good and rear window was aligned correctly. It had 400km on the odometer - it was at their dealership for over a month so I guess it got test driven more than a few times. Such is the life of buying off the lot instead of ordering. I was going to order a '16 but the interest rate is 4.39% versus 1.49% for a 2015. I wanted Sync 3, but not at the cost of about $2K more in interest! Plus I get my new ride for the rest of this summer instead of waiting until the fall. Rich Employee Pricing discount allowed me to move from my originally planned EB to the GT.
The only minor thing is that there was two minor rock chips on the front of the hood - have to look pretty hard to find them. Probably from being driven on the Number 1 out that way. I opted not to have a respray done of the hood. They've offered to give me my first service on the house which I accepted and I am satisfied. My car has the 50th anniversary trim package.
I am surprised how quiet the interior is (exhaust rumble aside). Much quieter than my Focus ST was. Pretty comfortable drive I must say. Sport mode is awesome with the rev matching on downshifts. It's going to take me a little time to have all switchwork intuitive but that will come in time as I familiarize myself with the car. I couldn't be happier - hoping the rain stays away tomorrow so I can go for a nice long couple or three hour drive.
And that black PP is still in the showroom at Hallmark.
Hope to see some of you out on the road!
No problem and feel free to come out to any of the races on the calendar. Just shoot me a PM to make sure I'm going and then look me up at the track.Thanks for the invite - that is very friendly of you.![]()
Might be out of town for the long weekend, but if we don't go, I will likely take you up on that.

I'm probably going to be at the track this Saturday so if you want to come try it this weekend I'll he there. It's the only red ZL1 so easy to track me down.,
