Hello M3W Forum,

First, let me say thank you to all who contribute to this forum. The wealth of information found here has been invaluable along my journey. I’ve been lurking here since I started to think about the MW3 about 3 years ago. I got the chance to drive the copper one below about 2 years ago and I was hooked.

After a couple near misses, a few moons finally lined up and I was able to make it happen. My (awesome) wife knew I’ve been wanting one, and talked me into actually doing it for my 50th. It’s a 2017 model that the dealer has had in stock for 2+ years, so it was still sold as a new vehicle. You can see it in the background behind the copper one I drove a couple years ago. It was delivered a few days ago with 186 miles on the clock.

My boys (6 and 8 years old) love to go for rides, and my youngest has already burned his knee on the exhaust. He won’t make that mistake again…

It took a few days to get insured through Grundy, but now I’m legal and enjoying drives further than around the block. I’ve got the parts on order to move the headlights out where they belong and some Cocomats coming. I’ve also got a Kuryakyn air filter waiting on the workbench for an X-Wedge adapter to arrive, and a suction cup Ram mount for my phone, all of which this forum was very helpful with identifying the specific parts needed.

By most accounts, it going to require its fair share of tinkering (which I enjoy) and will probably leave me stranded at some point (not so much), but I don’t care. You can’t get behind the wheel and not have a smile on your face. My kids fight over who gets to ride with Daddy.

Thanks for reading,

Scott
