Both of these are absolutely gorgeous...especially the dark blue one because I'm partial to that color.

I love the way car enthusiasts always park on the empty side of the parking lot.

And when you come back from grocery shopping always someone has parked directly next to you.

I had an S50 M Coupe that was totalled by the dealership 'during a service' just weeks after the factory stopped production. Best car I ever owned, bar none, and the loss still burns after nearly twenty years.

I can imagine, good examples are even more unattainable today as most have found their place in collections. I bought mine in 2009.

Haha, it is. I talked with exclusive manufacturer when I chose signal yellow and thought about adding some blue based on current paint scheme but decided against it.

Thanks, all. What stinks about it all is the dealer made me do euro delivery for the allocation (something about them getting allocations when they sell euro deliveries). Well, due to delays with supplies from Ukraine, everyone with ED is backed up. So we are scheduled for 10/24 pickup at Stuttgart. It will be fun being in Europe with my wife for 7 days without kids but this wait is going to be killer.
