did you opt for the same color combo?
If it were only that easy. I opted for one of a handful of leftover new (MY 2024!) i4 Sport suspension cars that was "priced right". The best deal took me to Bellevue (Park Place) for a yellow/black pack, black alcantara interior and steering wheel with yellow contrasting stitch.

So many yellow cars in socal now
Vehicle Depreciation Surveys Says This Color Keeps Most of Its Value
Of 13 colors ranked, gold came in last, while beige depreciated the second-best and white was ninth.

Apparently it's one of the slowest depreciating colors too. Wasn't a factor for me while ordering, it just happened to be the most exciting launch color IMHO.
Vince, I'm basically an i4 Sport version of your twin. Looking forward to catching up soon.Welcome to the Hethel Yellow club
Wow- I would not have expected the car to look like that after a crash. I heard guys have gotten in trouble going too fast and then being blinded by the light coming out of the tunnel.
Not sure I wanted to see that
I'm super excited for a car themed trip to LA / Malibu, yet the amount of crashes in the canyons, particularly ACH, is very concerning. A rollover accident occurred right after the Ferrari incident. I will be careful and pray that oncoming traffic stays in their lane.

Our group is well behaved.
Agree, not my first choice, but not a horrible color to add graphics to. Given my circumstances, I'll take it!
When you go up at 6AM and see the sunrise, you avoid all of this drama. Worst case, you see the drama aftermath on your way back down as the Chaos goes up. Let's face it, the crazies aren't just crazy, they're lazy. They go up at 9AM or later and then get pissed and do silly things because there's "traffic".
Some of my most incredible drive memories at ACH have started as early as 4:45AM in the Summer to catch sunrises and no traffic. It's like filming a cool car commercial because the road appears to be "closed off" just for you. In the Winter, you don't need to go nearly as early, but early none the less.

Woah. Just checked in on the thread and my car is front and center in a calendar. Great Xmas present. I will sadly be at work on the 30th so you all have to have fun without me. I recommend the Ahi sandwich for anyone who hasnt gotten it yet. Happy Holidays all.
@mr.suntorytime Just confirming there is a meet tomorrow? I checked the first page and it doesn't reflect the 30th mentioned above. Also, if it is on, assuming same place listed (Erewhon, off lost hills)?
Yep, we are planning on meeting at Erewhon at 10:00 am.

@mr.suntorytime is there somewhere scenic on the first leg as we head down to PCH we can shoot another group shot? been a while since I been in Malibu side, I don't think there's much going up Latigo for pull outs for the group - I have a meeting to get to but have time for the first half of drive I think. Otherwise we'll shoot for another big group date for group photo preferably when the light is good (sunrise/sunset)
