So, today was accessory install day for Grogu. Imagine my surprise when I pulled into the dealer lot to see a Blue Stone with a sold sign in the window. It went home with its new owner this afternoon.

I just wish I could have lined up the black one between them to get all three in the shot. I've now seen 4 of the 6 colors in person, all but Hampton and white. Sage is still my favorite, but the blue looks REALLY sharp! A closer second for me.

The Ford dealer there also had a Maverick on the lot. It is the ultimate in generic. Absolutely nondescript. If you didn't know it was "new and exciting" you wouldn't know it wasn't a used truck on the lot. I'm really glad I didn't go that direction. The Cruz is worth every extra dollar.

All in all, a good day with a surprise Stone Blue appearance! Just waiting on the floor liners now. Got the hitch, the mud flaps, and the roof cross bars. Fun fact, the Hyundai factory bars are the Thule Evo Flush AND the kit is for the '22 Tucson and Santa Cruz, as noted on the installation guide.

We came out of Costco to see a white SC next to our black limited SC.

I think the white SC has a crush on you. Look at the orientation of the front tires and how close it is to the line. Is that an SE, FWD SEL or a debadged AWD SEL ?

It's a plethora of Santa Cruz's! The Three Amigos!!! 🤠🤠🤠

That's right. It doesn't have the roof rails.

I'm waiting on the liners as well....I wonder how the other individual managed to get them in his unit while we still wait in the queue......

My SEL doesn't have roof rails.

I do have the rear liner - and LOVE it. Can't wait for the fronts! The carpets may never see use again once I do. The look and feel of them are fantastic! If the front match the back, I'm going to be very happy with them, even if they were what I'd call seriously overpriced. But beats grinding pine needles into the carpeted ones ... and winter is coming. Been hovering around +3C for highs the last couple of days. Makes the ol' Pit Boss burn a few extra pellets.

I've had the Hyundai rear liner since October. REALLY like it. Finally getting the front pair tomorrow. Can't wait to stop dragging snow and slop onto the carpeted mats!
