I name all of the cars that I care about and they all have the same name: Zero. Some people will get that reference. Anyway, I wanted to start a build thread just to chronicle my build. I plan on taking my time with this car mainly because I have a family of 4 to take care of as well. The car will receive discretionary funds. Hopefully this will help other people looking to do something similar. Overall I think it'll take me about 2 years to get Zero where I'd like him to be. I've waited 5 years to find the right car for me, so I'm sure that the wait won't kill me.
Here's Zero as he's been ordered today. I'll update this first post as well as post new entries in the thread. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

After a lot of back and forth I finally got the dealer down to $43,299 from $46,905. I think i could have done better, but whatever. I didn't want too many of the packages, but I do wish that a rear camera were standard like it is on 99% of new cars these days. Here's my build though. It's pretty sparse compared to most builds I guess.
