Yesterday I called my neighbor, who works for the local Mazda dealer, to ask him about delivery times if I order. I'm kinda concerned, since we've been seeing a lot of people saying how they're not getting their cars for 12 weeks etc due to production delays.
So anyway, I told him I'd decided on the Speed Yellow. Total SILENCE on the phone line. Then he says " Oh, I'm sorry - I was just picking my jaw up off the floor! "
(I'd told him before I wasn't interested in that color at all.)
So anyway, last night at shortly after 8:00 the phone rings. Survivor is on, so we let the machine pick up. "Hey - it's your neighbor Jim - look out your side window!" I look out and there sits a Speed Yellow 6 sitting in his driveway in all its glory. He'd brought it home from the dealership so we could basically salivate over it.
So we go over there after Survivor. This is the first my husband has seen the color in person. Granted, it's dark outside, but he'd pulled the car into his garage which is well-lit. So I'm like....."there's my car!".
But WHEW! - the only thing that saved me from making him write out the paperwork right then and there was the fact that 1) it was a manual and 2) it had that ugly chrome fuel filler door on it.
But at least hubby got to see the color in person and now admits it's pretty nice.
