I don't know, but if I had to guess, he wanted a white car. His Focus was white. I'm just glad he didn't buy the one I bought before I could buy it.

This
and this. Less bangers means more mash, right? (sorry, went to an Irish restaurant last night)

1) Dealers should tell customers during closing that the info may not update right away and to give it at least X days before inquiring. 2) Include that same notice on the OnStar login sheet they give you at closing. 3) Include that same info on the webpage where it shows that info. Based on how long I was on the phone with them and the amount of time GM employees spent in what appears to be a needless fire drill, I'd estimate my call cost GM $50 or more. I can't be the only one, can I?

Oh, and Clyde, as temping as the Jag is, thanks for the offer but . . .
I've owned 2 English cars, I won't own a third. and even though we have never met, I feel like I have known you for a very long time. Knowing the story about how you got this car, being your dad's vehicle, road trip with your daughter, I wouldn't feel comfortable about becoming its new owner. Don't sell it to anyone you know (JMHO)

So, after a week and 60ish miles after getting it home...
I'm getting used to being blind. I'm not sure if the comparatively big doors are as much of a nuisance or I'm just thinking about them too much. There really isn't space inside to put anything. Chevrolet MyLink is worlds better than Ford's second gen MyFord Touch with Microsoft Sync. CarPlay integration is nice to have, but it's not quite there. Siri understood me better in the Focus. I don't know if it's a CarPlay issue or a mic issue. Probably mic. The stereo is really not good. I shy away from telling non-car people I bought a Camaro. Kind of like I did when I bought a BMW. Not sure why I thought the shifter felt rubbery. It's not. It's not snick-snick-superfantasitc like an S2000, RX8 or something like that, but it's not bad. It's direct and positive. I'm really getting antsy to be able to drive it to the point I can learn something about it. Aside from not being able to see out of, it's a pleasant car to be in. It's not as nice as any of the cars some of the rest of you have been buying lately, but none of those cars were under $20k new. It's seriously nice for the money and thinking about what I paid makes me smile. That stereo, though, ugh. (Yes, second mention in this post.)
