Let me start by saying that since I reserved my Badlands on July 18th I have been hell bent certain I wanted the Carbonized Gray, no question. I figured it was not very exciting, but it was sure to be a safe choice. I have gone from vinyl to leather and back to vinyl. I have changed from MIC to MOD and back to MIC, but I haven't wavered on the color choice once in eight and half months, until yesterday.
Yesterday I went to the Northeast Ohio Event in Cleveland to see the four door Badlands in Area 51 and the FE in Cactus Gray. I know some of you won't believe me, but it was sunny in Cleveland yesterday and I have to say, I was really taken with the Cactus Gray. It looked great, and it looked more gray than minty as I initially felt it looked online. I had seen it on a Sport in person a few weeks earlier and didn't give it a second consideration. Yesterday was different. So today I dragged my wife to the event to get her opinion and to see if I had been hallucinating the day before. Today the weather was overcast in Cleveland, at least this morning it was and I liked the way the Cactus Gray looked even more. Conveniently, my dealer is right around the corner from where the event was being held so we drove over there to see a Sport in Carbonized Gray as I hadn't actually seen that color in person either, but by this point we were both heavily leaning towards the Cactus. When we got to the dealer they had a bunch of Sports on the lot and it was serendipitous that they had a Carbonized Gray right next to a Cactus Gray. The deal was sealed, I called the GM at the dealership as we drove off the lot and made the change to Cactus Gray. The Carbonized Gray was too safe for me, just too nondescript for my liking.
I know many of us on the Forum have had a similar experience after seeing them in person, I am really glad I had the chance to see them and sit in them, especially since the Badlands was very close to my same build. Another bonus of going was that I got to meet two of our fellow 6G Forum members which was cool.
Sorry for the ramble as I know it is the SSDD.
Have a great weekend!
