I called the salesman, waited to see if someone who had called just ahead of me would put down $7500, was told he wouldn't, then put that money down, ordered my stripper car (MG, 6MT, no Exec, at MSRP), got a production number for an October build...and I'm done.
In about 10 minutes, after waiting a long long fucking time. The only bummer is I'm going to have pay shipping from Montgomery, Alabama to Seattle, but I can live with that just fine  Weird how this stuff works out. Now it's finally real. Hot damn. Kind of in shock, but digging it. To those who have yet to score, keep the faith. It can happen at any moment. |
Way to go, Bruce!!!
I'm happy to see someone got free of the Seattle BMW vortex of mis-information and scored a car. I was #4 on the list as of last week. They just got 6 allocations. I'm now sitting at "number 2 or 3." Last I checked, 4 minus 6 was not "2 or 3" but hey, I'm not she sharpest knife in the drawer so what do I know.
Guess I should start a December/January/February thread.
