New Equus owner

[NashvilleEquus]

Just got a 2016 Equus Ultimate 3 weeks ago. Santiago Silver with black interior.

Bought it from same dealer we had previously purchased 2 Elantras from. The dealership is phenomenal in the several years I've dealt with them, and they really took care of me this time too. This was the last one they got before the switchover to Genesis. They made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

So far I've replaced the rear Hyundai badge with a Equus badge, had the windows tinted, added painted body side moldings from Sportwing (look perfect!), and bought a ROLA trunk organizer and Covercraft windshield sunshade from AUTOANYTHING.

We decided to get a luxury car as I drive mainly around town and to use for travel. The Equus is the nicest car I've ever been in or driven. I'll probably put 6-8k miles a year on it as I also have a 2013 Corvette Grand Sport and 1971 Datsun 240Z and my wife's 2014 Elantra SE. Other than the really poor fuel mileage, I love it. Can't wait for our 2,000 mile trip next month to Washington DC, Philadelphia, and other places up that way!

1971 Datsun 240Z owned since 1987. 276k miles and drives like a new car. My dream car in junior high. I was 14 when they built this one! Pic at Tail of the Dragon on Tennessee/North Carolina border.

2013 Corvette Grand Sport automatic 6 speed with paddle shifters. 430 hp. Bought used April 2015 with 7k miles on it.

Bump for pics of the car with the installed SPORTWING body side moldings from their ebay store (http://stores.ebay.com/sportwing) that were a perfect paint match and super easy to install (got them 5 days after ordering!), and the Equus hood ornament and tinted windows. The dealer asked about the moldings when I had the car serviced and said they looked great and would recommend them to their customers.
