Don't give in to the dark side...

If all that's separating you is a boot cover and a spare the dealer should
be able to do that for you without much of a problem. I doubt that you're
cutting into their profits deep enough to make the additional expense
unbearable...they need that car off their lot almost as much as you need it
into your life.

Good luck!

Sorry you couldn't get the car in time to join us @ The Gap :-(

Next year!
