I did it

[HDTurbo]

<--- Got a fair deal with a planned LBO on a '20 GT1 AWD that magically/finally appeared locally. Would have been a total of 25% off MSRP but I accepted the remote start and mats it came with, making it ~23%. Was tired of online shopping. Made the deal just before the recent market "correction" so that was fun, being closer to retirement than not. I also got the coronavirus filter. Looking forward to any informed recommendations. Clearly intakes and PPF/coating being considered. So much tech for an oldster to learn, but if Merlin can, I can!

WTH!?
Welcome to your new car.

TY, guy! Just seeing if anyone is paying attention. Are you preparing 4 the 'pockalips? Have to say I was a bit tentative following through on this given the market activity...sometime you just gotta say fusk it!

Welcome to the hive. Congrats. Gotta get me one of those Coronavirus filters.

Heh, I've ten years on you. The learning curve is going well over here.

Lol. I don't worry about apocalyptic. My own demise is statistically FAR more likely to take place first. It's like Second Coming stuff: Jesus, face-to-face after said-demise (aka death), is imminent enough, without including all you all!

So, I bought this car, to enjoy fully without concerns for what the future holds. "Time is wasting" are true words. Waiting for the refresh, or facelift, or for any additions to next year, or the next year, or the next, or, oh, screw it … Just buy the danged thing and start driving fast. Hah.

This is all true. However, some of us have kids in college, and despite death being a black hole of foreverness that you never come back from so live life the fullest right the f now, some of us still gotta make loan payments for the kids.

I like your handle, GoJL. I've been a fan since '74 and still remember the day he left vividly. I'm still learning all the nuances/details of the car.

Well, my lease has been "bought out!" Given the current situation, I wonder how long it will take to get my title from NY DMV...

Thanks, he is/was my favorite Beatle. Nice color, I'm looking for the RWD version of that.

 

[HDTurbo]

Thanks. My fave color. I has a blue '86 Regal T-Type, and the original 2002 WRX in WRB.

And I still remember well 12/8/80...

Yes a very sad day indeed.

My Hyundai Lease Titling Trust Bill of Sale and NYS Title (with HLTT as lien holder) arrived today, in an envelope that was completely unsealed.
When the State comes off COVID-19 pause, I'll be able to visit the DMV to request the title in my name. Yay...
