Matt - I'm bummed for you (and the shop) that the car could not be at the show. It definitely was not for lack of trying on anyone's part. The car is absolutely killer and the photos posted do not do the car justice. The interior is incredible. The gauges and the smell of leather throughout just like a new car....mmmmmm. And the stance of the car....there's something sexy about walking up to one of these first-gens and have the roofline not even come up to chest hieght.

I was lucky enough to be there last night and watch the BOS team in action. They make it look so easy. I could not believe what got accomplished in the final 12hrs. Incredible and I learned a LOT about final assembly and prep of a car of this caliber. (I watched Matt clean the entire tread-pattern of those big meats by hand!) And I don't know where to begin with the BOS guys - just incredible to watch them work. Unfortunately those few last minute gremlins did not let-up and I will say this about BOS: despite the huge opportunity to have the car at SEMA and being ssoooooooooooooooo close, my hat is off to them for choosing to maintain the integrity of the shop and it's reputation. They were clear the car was not leaving until it was absolutely 100%. No compromises, no shortcuts and a general unwillingness for the show-goers to experience anything less than the very best BOS have to offer. I know a lot of shops (where I have previously had my vehicles) would have been ok with the issues that came up last night. Those other shops no longer have my patronage.

Sorry for the positive rant but the efforts I witnessed first-hand last night deserve at least an attempt at being described from a (albeit biased) by-stander. A great effort by all.

My hat is off to you guys! Sweet ride Matt!
