We had a lot of fun over dinner-- no awkward silences with this bunch! somewhere along the line we started discussing the new snap orange color concept nb which is supposed to be hitting dealerships soon. john surprised us all by saying, "oh yeah-- i think i saw one of those at southern states." we immediately grilled him and it sounded like the real deal, so we all decided to caravan over to the dealership after dinner.

After taking a few pictures in the parking lot we headed out in a line to the dealership to check out the snap orange.

WOW! what a color-- it's a very deep orange, and i think in daylight it will be quite bright, too. Sort of like the color a tomato is if it's not incredibly ripe. Everyone was very excited. We got a good look at the special color concept interior, too, which has orange insets and detailing on black leather. I got pictures of this through the window glass as best I could.

We knew Steve would love it because he'd already said that would be his ideal color for a bug. But the big surprise was John, who was studying the window sticker for a long time after everyone had stopped looking at the car. I talked to him a little and he said he was really loving this color. Maybe this will be the bug that finally inspires him to trade in his Passat.

Sarah told me that her family thinks they might want to go to Roswell next summer. Here's hoping!
