I GOT IT !!!!!!!
Here is how it went down. Arrived for my 2pm scheduled delivery. Steve was busy with a customer looking at an Esprit, then he took a call from the anxious Elise customer that was sending a transport to have his new car(silver) sent to Chicago. I took this opportunity to visit my car in the prep garage. The car is a thing of beauty! It finally hit me that my car was actually here! I couldn't wait to drive it home. Sat down with Steve at 2:15pm, we talked about how great the car is and how everyone loved the test drive. Steve then went over breaking in the car, the alarm, first service, etc. To be honest about all that sunk in was enough to get in the car, start it & drive home. I was too ansty to get in the car to listen very deeply. He recommended reading the manual from front to back, which I will do soon. I then met with the finance guy, wrote my check and signed everything he put in front of me. I then drove away with a big smile on my face. This was at 3:15pm. What a great ride the elise gives you! It's more than I hoped for! I think the car had 17 miles when I picked it up. The had been wrong about the star shield, it was installed, they didn't look close enough the first time, not noticible unless you look for it. All in all it went very smoothly, no surprises, exactly as expected. The only fee besides invoice was like a $95 documentation fee which include the temporary tags. They don't install the front plate holder unless you ask for it. No one has so far.
The only problem so far, the air conditioner does not cool. Since the weather is nice, I told them to wait for my 1000 mile service to fix it. Hope this gives you an idea what to expect. let me know if you have any questions. A s for me, I'll be out in my car!!!
