I pulled the trigger
On a 25' K5 GT1 package with Steel matte finish. After a lot of thought I decided to go with the matte and am actually really looking forward to this new endeavor of caring properly for this type of finish. It's garage kept, have an electric Blower to help remove water and will be getting all necessary cleaning products for the new exterior. Beyond excited, and the 25 mile drive back home was awesome. Huge thanks to everyone who helped answer the questions I had, as that was a big deciding factor for me to purchase the car. First new car ever at almost 34 years old, but I worked my ass off to be able to do this. Woohoo!
