Default IT CAME IN TODAY!!!!!

I just picked up my TR/mod red Z today. Aside from the absolute misery of sitting at the dealership for almost 6 hours before the car was set for delivery, everything was great with the car. However, it started raining about 5 minutes before delivery was consumated. So I drove straight home to garage my car.
I'll give a more clear account of the Z tommorow after washing, waxing, and driving.

Way to go! You'll agree that it is one awesome ride. The first 500 miles (break-in) are the toughest and will test your resolve, hehe!

The first 500 miles are going to be misery. I traded in my SS Camaro yesterday, so I don't even have that to beat on. I am going to be driving like a grandma for the next month..........
