Brand new LT owner in Washington

[Wydz]

Wydz welcome. Got same color sedan only I got an LS. Had to save a few bucks I wanted out of my goddamn Cobalt bad. And it came with MyLink. Love it.

You don't mind your car being sandwiched in like that?? I'd be worried someone would nick the damn thing.

Yeah, we've been doing it since I started driving at 17, so 6 years now and we've gotten it down, nothing has happened to any of the cars yet

And yeah, I didn't want the LS even though it was like 3-4K cheaper, I wanted power everything. The #1 thing and only option I really wanted was the MyLink, but this one came with the Wheels and Fog package, All-Weather floor mats, and the Remote Start (which I think is standard.) Funny thing is it took me less than a week to find the car that I wanted, it took my mom 2 months just to narrow it down to the one she got lol.

This car was the #2 one on my list. The closest Orange sedan with the MyLink and W/F package was in Idaho, and I wasn't going to drive 6 hours for a car

Congrats on your new buy man. Can't wait to see you pimp it out.

Ive had my antenna removed for ~5 months now, not liking the radio (non-XM) signal strength though.

Wydz, I'm at Microsoft's main campus currently. PM me, maybe I can take a long lunch in the next week or 2 and we can meet up.

Hope you dont mind the pics, installed some parts with the help of NewZJ (John) this evening (pic 3). The first 2 are right after I had it detailed, you can see me in the reflection

I'm really glad I chose Cyber Grey as my color choice, when it's clean and in the sun there's a lot of blue metallic flake that really makes the car pop.

Midnight window tinting in Bellevue

 

[Wydz]

25% tint done

On the drive home I swear it wasn't this dark when I left the place, maybe it settled a bit? idk lol, all i know is my rear window wasnt this dark leaving the place haha

Reflection makes it look like 5% but it's not that dark, pictures make it look darker I think


Had to relocate my temp plate too, they took it off the back window and placed in the front and I was like no thanks, so I pulled my license plate frame off my saturn that has one of those protective covers on it and threw the temp plate in there lol

I live in Washington too, it's crazy how much Sonics have exploded in popularity around here. I live in a really small part of town and went from being the only Inferno Orange HB and now there are two others. It's awesome! Look forward to seeing more posts from you soon.

Sitting at the Chevy dealer getting scratches fixed. Incoming boring 2 hours or so..

About time too lol, bought the car with them on it and they said they would fix for free

 

[Wydz]

Just dropped in the K&N

Can't wait to see if I notice anything on my drive to work

I missed this thread... Welcome! I grew up in Kirkland, up on Finn Hill but moved a little north back in the '90's when it came time to buy a house, couldn't quite afford Kirkland house prices at the time

I am driving around all over the eastside almost every day for my work; ya know, Kirkland, Bellevue, Redmond, maybe I'll see you on the road! A buddy of mine used to live in Duvall so I know that area a little but now the closest I get is Cottage Lake in Woodinville, I've got a couple clients out that way.

I used to work at a consulting company that did business with Microsoft and at the time I had a vendor badge and was out on the main campus virtually every day, lots of different buildings but mostly 41 and 42 IIRC. We sold servers to some of the labs, and the original XBOX dev machines, I still have some of that swag.

Wydz...I bought my LT in Auburn, WA with a major rock chip in the windshield and a missing second key fob. They replaced both for free, of course. But they put a dent in my roof just above the windshield. Sometimes ya just can't win.

Said they'd fix the dent but I haven't pressed the issue yet. I'm afraid they'll break something else.

Yeah I went in to get 2 sets of scratches and a dent fixed that were on the car when I bought it.

They fixed the dent and the biggest set of scratches but missed the 2nd set so I'm calling back tomorrow to see if they can get me in tomorrow

I bought mine in Burien lol

Congrats on the ride man. I personally prefer the hatch, but my only regret in buying mine is that it isn't the blue topaz

 

[getthebiscuit]

Nice ride man, i just got the LT too cuz i wanted the mylink so bad haha i got that and i was good to go. the dealer already had my car set aside for me when i rolled up. got like $2000 off between memorial day deals and the GM discount.
