Hi all,

Well I hope I'm not jinxing ourselves here but the wife and I are suppossed to go by Power Honda this afternoon and pick up our new Silver EX....We had to wait a bit over a week since she wanted to have the panels painted. I'm really looking forward to seeing what it's going to look like.

I will try to post some pictures asap...

This is actually going to be her car but I've been lurking around the site for a bit and wanted to introduce ourselves to you....We live in Los Alamitos and hope to meet some of you after we get the E....

Congrats!!! There's supposedly a bunch of E owners getting together in Huntington Beach this weekend. (Cheap advice coming...)

DON'T let your wife paint the panels until you check out some other E's.

Again, congrats. Wait a minute. Los Alamitos IS in the Los Angeles area, right?

Too late...she actually saw the painted panels on a friends black E and just loved it...I think the fact that the dealer would paint them and the panels would have the same paint warranty as the rest of the car was the deciding factor on getting the E.

I know the panels give the E it's genX hipness but we are both closer to 40 than we are 30 so we went with the painted panels...

I read the post on the G2G in HB but we will both be tied up this weekend with Kids activities.....will try to sneak by but probably not..

Los Alamitos is the extreme North West Corner of Orange County...we have a 562 area code but are very proud to be south of the Orange curtain also known as the 405/605 interchange.....
