I had the last drive Wednesday afternoon. After having begged for pics from perryeyges's thread, I screwed up and the batteries for my digicam were dead. D'oh...
But at least I had the handy dandy camera phone. The pics are lousy, but I can prove I was there! I drove it! And, it was fantastic!
They were doing the same drive route for everybody, up Franklin to Geary, down Presidio and then through the Presidio, and back. What really struck me about the car is how totally liveable it is. I've been preparing myself for so long now that this car will be a huge PITA to live with, but I'm really beginning to think that's not so true, and that it may very well be a viable daily driver.
The little shelf behind the seats nicely took my mini messenger bag, and the car was no problem to get into. Top was off, so I didn't get a feel for how difficult it's going to be with a roof. With the seat in proper position relative to the pedals, my short legs/long arms mean that I have more bend in the elbows than I would like. Something to get used to, I suppose.
The drive on that car is fantastic. I won't go on, because it's been said before -- I just know now that everything that everyone said is true. And what an attention getter! I felt like a rock star with people hanging out of their car windows hooting at us.
The demo is ardent red on black, with touring package. The pics came out kind of orangey, and there was quite a bit of glare.
Anyway, I'm #29, storm titanium on red, touring package, with a quoted estimated delivery date of March/April. Lots of time to practice my zen.
