Congrats.

Is it all that you hoped and dreamed it would be?

No, the 2018s don't come stateside until later this year. It's not clear how much of the new tech we'll get, but none of it seemed that important to me.

From this distance and angle, and with this suboptimal lighting, you can't see the highway paint chips...or the #@$#!! fence stain overspray from earlier this week. I just spent a metric ton of money on detailing supplies, as my paint correction project is now higher on the to-do list. For today, I settled on claying out around 60-70% of the overspray. That made it mostly indistinguishable from the pollen that thwarts any attempt to keep the car clean this week.

Looking good!
