If I have a Tesla Model 3 pre order slated for Dec 2017 to Feb 2018 delivery... does that count? :D

It does in my book!

I just passed the birthday of my S I got in 2016 and it was the best year and experience of driving in my life.

Estimated delivery of our 3 for my wife is Dec-Feb 2018 at this point.

Congrats!!

Thank you, when I first got the car I started driving a much as possible and taking tons of pictures, I even got the annual membership to the National Parks. Its at the dealer right now getting a new roof. :( There is a known issue with the roof on the early ND MX-5s.

Your car really pops against the light brown canyons, really fantastic.

Yeah, what are you going do, right? Things break, it doesn't matter if the car costs $10K or $100K, things can go wrong.

Yeah, its true, thankfully its all covered under the warranty, and they gave me a loaner car for a couple weeks (a 2016 Mazda CX-3 GT).

Congrats to you too! Have you thought about what options you want on your 3? Wheels, exterior and interior color, Autopilot or no Autopilot, etc. Here's to us (and other 3 reservation holders) getting our cars as early as possible.

It will be my wife's car as I have the S.

She is trying to decide between Pearl White and Silver
19 inch wheels but if the wheel design begins the aeros are confirmed I may persuade her for efficiency and price.
Going white interior, it's beautiful
No autopilot as her commute is about 10 miles per day, all in the city
We have the S for road trips and it has autopilot. Maybe add on later if needed
210 mile battery
Premium upgrades, that glass roof!!!

That's today, who knows tomorrow :)

I used to track an M3 and Evo back in the day. Loved both those cars.

This car is just as fun if not more fun to drive than those cars.

Ford did a great job on the setup.

I'm custom tuned and plan on going next Fall:

Nice. Are you going to do the aftermarket turbo setup first, run it, wait to see if the motor stays together, or everything at once (make it more bullet proof right up front).

I'm looking at supercharging my GT later this year, unless the GT500 finally makes an appearance and knocks-my-socks-off (... and there's a reasonable dealer without ADM, which is probably unlikely ...)

I am slowly, oh so slowly, working on my Mustang. I'm doing what I can myself, but it's melting hot plus it's been raining a lot. Looking forward to this fall and winter getting stuff done.

Nice. I've got boxes with new rotors sitting the garage, just haven't been motivated to get started :D
