    Couple of things, you'd never let them put a front plate on your car & you'd not pick that color. Loaner is my guess. :wink:

    You could at least save your dignity and cover it up in the garage or driveway... I wouldn't want the neighbors thinking its a good looking car to replace theirs with...

    I went by the dealer the other day on one of my errands.... That "Goldfish Orange" was quite prevalent in the lot.... They must be banking on that being one of the hot colors.....

    It's going to be a fad color like the Yellow Honda Preludes back in the 80's.

    My neighbors think I went to work for the state highway department. It really has a blotted look to it.

    Just hang a sign in the window that says "No I did not buy this, it's a loaner"

    Or if you have one of the old sun shade things put the side out that says "Emergency call 911" :lol:

    Got some good news from my mechanic today. I should have my car back tomorrow. I'm planning to leave work early to pick it up and then put alot of unnecessary miles on it.

    Installed the Powerflex inserts for the lower engine mount. Painted the rear brake calipers red and hunted for an elusive rattle in the front end. (No luck with the rattle but the hunt continues tonight :crazy::mad2:)

    Recently installed on my 2007 MCS...

    - pulled the ~87k mile MINI Cooper S turbo and replaced with direct swap, slightly larger JCW turbo brand new from Borg Warner.
    - installed JCW Exhaust manifold.
    - installed the CNT Racing catless, resonated downpipe.
    - installed CNT Racing resonated exhaust (catless, now no CATs in the system, there were originally 2).
    - installed Wagner Competition intercooler.
    - installed NM Engineering charge/discharge intercooler piping.
    - installed Detroit Motoring Turbo Oil line Kit.
    - installed JCW Intake and Amsoil air filter.

    Tonight I will power bleed the coolant and send off for a tune!
