And let the fun begin!! Perfect time of the year to join the club- enjoy and stay tuned to this fourm. I'm going on a year with the car (04/04) and the group here has been patient and got me up to speed faster than I could have ever hoped for.

Yep...wait 'till you go on your first long freeway cruise...

My face still hurts from all the grinning I did today going to eastern WA and back. The feel of the car in terms of performance and handling is so indescribably great...

You're gonna love it. Welcome to the forum!
