Now, since the internet here is slower than Chinese Democracy, I haven't been able to watch the popular "junk man" videos, etc...
So, to my question(s). #1, would it be odd, or even necessary to request that the dealer NOT wash my car prior to delivery? and #2, do I dare ask my WONDERFUL wife who authorized this purchase, to NOT wash it upon arrival (as she would surely think I'd want since i keep my cars cleaner than ER operating tables)...or do i suck it up and just buff out the swirl marks later?
I'm sure some will think this is a bit much, or over the top, but am borderline OCD when it comes to my cars and this is my 1st new car, and what a bad-ass car it is.....thoughts?  |
i HAVE BEEN WAITING 9 WEEKS FOR exact IDENTICAL CAR AS YOURS. It is Bayed, code 4800 and not sure where it is between Ontario, Canada and Vero Beach, FL.
OH yes...............thank you for your service to our country. My family started in the Civil War up to Viet Nam.
