Metris leader has docked and our M4 has made it's long journey stateside. A few days at VPC and she was ready to be picked up. Thus began what seemed to be the longest road trip ever to Camarillo:



Paperwork was completed, handshake was made and we were presented with our new M4 once walking through the doors:



The AY color looks simply beautiful in person, the pictures really do the color an injustice. There is a slight pearlescent hue in direct sunlight that really makes the color pop. Thus began what seemed to be a much shorter drive back to the shop.
