Picked her up yesterday...
Got an '02 vert, red with black interior. 17K miles, absolutely gorgeous condition. Every option except the 12 disc. Needless to say I'm a happy camper.
When my daughter saw the car (she is 3 1/2) her first reaction, in a very dramatic voice was, "Ooohhh...its beautiful!" I had to laugh. I told her the car does a trick, and put the top down for her. She was amazed...and jumped right in the passenger seat. This morning I was helping her get dressed and she said "I want to go to school in Daddy's car". I said, the silver one (an '02 Accord) and her response was, No...the RED one!!
I never thought I would want an auto in a sports car...until I drove it. My goodness, the car has so much torque, if you want to go it just goes!
...Got a picture in the gallery, gonna try my first attempt.

Thanks for all of the comments everyone. Quick question...are the tire pressure sensors pretty accurate? I lost my guage and havent had a chance to pick one up yet to see how close they read to actual.
