Erin apparently ran over an entire gypsy family, possibly a whole village, about a year ago. Every car she's touched breaks something every 1,000 miles or so. She even broke two rental cars in two weeks. It was time to get her something new with lots and lots of warranty.
Add in she was a passenger in a massive wreck, 20 years ago. With brain injuries, after the month long coma, she can't stomach automatics choosing when to shift. I get a wife who loves to row her own.
After a lot of looking around, that was a 2017 Ruby Red GT, black out package, non performance pack (last car was a Mini Cooper S and she's ready for a little more comfort), all of the interior boxes checked (she commutes 50 miles each way in SoCal freeway traffic).
The California Package was tempting but $1,000 more for red stitching, black heat extractors and silver not black logos wasn't worth it to us over the blackout package.
Because she's got a long commute, adaptive cruise appealed a lot. But is impossible to find in a manual with everything else we wanted. So it was a custom order.
While we waited, I got a little too enthusiastic buying parts. Albeit parts that needed to not violate the 6yr/150k bumper to bumper that we're hoping breaks the curse.
Parts list on next post.
