Not sure but I’ve noticed that sometimes a dealer counts as an owner. So if it was a dealer demo car then sold to a customer then a dealer buys it to CPO it that could count as 3 owners. Not always the case but I remember seeing examples of that when looking at carfaxes

Awesome, glad that worked out. I’m sure you’ll quickly forget about the headache after your first drive in the car. 😁

Good luck with your pickup and enjoy the car!

Thanks!

Now I just need to sort out where on the car and how to apply the Tracwrap. I have a 4" by 20ft roll and a 6" by 40ft roll. I hope that's enough to protect key areas. I'm debating buying more.

Maybe pick one of these up, too? Was just reading about them in Road and Track, it gives you an old-school paper rundown of the best driving (and riding) roads:

Neat. I'll check those out. Thanks.

I dug up my Garmin Nuvi to bring as a back-up in case my phone loses reception. It fired up after trickle-charging it for a bit. Funny to see the UI again after more than a decade. Those things were (are) awesome.

Thanks. Way more last minute than I would have wanted, but it's done.

Congrats FC. I am really looking forward to the delivery and drive home chronicles. Especially the PEC portion. I still reconsider my 911 wait list spot once a week or so.

I assume they will let me affix my GoPro to the windshield during the track session, but maybe not.

(I still have the whole drive up Stelvio in HD from the GoPro. I should probably upload it one day.)
