Question What should I do?

So after a long 4 months wait, my G has finally made it to the dealership. I can go and pick it up pretty much anytime as of this coming Saturday.

Problem is (my luck of course ): There is a fair amount of snow precipitation forecasted for tomorrow (4"-6"). That storm *suppose* to clear out of the area by Friday night and we should have cloudy weather for Saturday morning. Now, I have no doubt the roads will be plowed, dry and cleaned by Saturday morning but they will still be covered with dry salt and other leftover $hits

Here is the dilema: Pick up the car on Saturday and get it a$$ dirty by the time I get home (25 miles away), or wait a whole week until the following weekend to pick her up?

What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Get it. Get it! GET IT!!!!

Don't you think it will get dirty sooner or later? You must, I repeat, YOU MUST get that car and drive her. You will NOT regret it.

Daniel, that's a no brainer bro! GET IT THIS SATURDAY!!!!!! You can clean it again over the weekend if you want......plus who's to say it won't get dirty next weekend as well if you decide to wait!

Btw, glad to hear your baby finally arrived!! Wayne, it's time to bring out your Dancin' Man!

Get it. I got my car in a snow storm. The dealer actually drove out to my house during the storm to pick me up because I couldn't wait any longer. Besides, spring is coming. It's going to be hard to keep your car completely clean for a while with all of the rain.

Daniel, they are right get that puppy on the road right away, it is a no brainer. If you wait the weather could be crappy then.

The WAIT is over so as Shane says, time to get out the Dancin Man Go and get it

LOL guys, well I'll be damned, it look like the board of directors has spoken!

Can you say "unanimously"?

Thanks for the advice guys. It may seem like a no brainer to some of you, but I'd hate to get home with the whole front covered with salt and debris. Plus, I certainly cannot showcase it when it's dirty. Oh well... I guess there is always a first time for the first wash...

Saturday it is then!

Well... looks like my sales guy didn't get a chance to stop Joe mechanic in time - the front plate bracket is on, and the bumper has been exploited

Time to rip the plugs out of the coupe and paint them over with some Blue Slate factory paint.

Well said +1. Unlike the PS3, the new G is worth camping out in a parking lot.
