AWESOME!
You are still going to have to wait a day or 2 for your dealer to prep it for sale.
Today is going to be a VERY LONG DAY

This is all I have for now. Its been kind of hectic afternoon. Took a drive to Kittery to have Dinner with one of my GF friends and her husband. Played around with the ACC. Never had to do anything other than change lanes to keep a steady 80 on the turnpike.
I almost had an accident at 68 miles. In the left lane to turn left and a car in the right lane turned right and the car following that one cut in front of me to go around it. I slammed on the breaks and turned into the oncoming lane to avoid the stupid bitch. She seem surprised when she saw my front fender inches from her drivers side window. Thankfully, I was already breaking when she decided to go around the other car.

One more picture from the parking lot at work. Man, this thing flies. I see what you guys and gals are saying when you step on the gas to merge into traffic coming off an onramp. Hits 90 fast.

Guess that's the "other red", since 2020 dropped the Hot Pepper (my 2019, got right after Christmas).One more picture from the parking lot at work. Man, this thing flies. I see what you guys and gals are saying when you step on the gas to merge into traffic coming off an onramp. Hits 90 fast.
Regarding the near accident (people say "near miss", but technically a near miss is a "hit") did you have lane change assist active? I find mine keeps me in line, and also warns of encroachment. Maybe a side-swipe is not detected? Haven't had it brake for me yet.
Also, we are vacationing in Maine in October, for my birthday. I think Ogonquit? Might take the Ranger? Last October we were in Lincoln, NH and went up the cog railroad to the top of Mt. Washington, on my BD....awesome. So your White Mtn pass is cool, love that area.

Must have been a warm day on the top the Rockpile. Normally there is snow up there that time of year. Looks like a clear day, too. Another Rarity for Mt Washington.Guess that's the "other red", since 2020 dropped the Hot Pepper (my 2019, got right after Christmas).

Yes, its Rapid Red. I was originally going to buy a 2019 in HPR, but couldn't quite swing it, then there was a Silver one I almost bought in August, then decided to wait. Now that the wait is over, I'm glad I waited.

Excellent choice! I went with the same. I am so happy I did, I've had it three weeks now and have gotten numerous compliments. I really enjoy driving it, taking it on its first highway experience today to get some fireworks.
