The toughest part about the DVD is watching it in one sitting, because it makes you want to get up and drive it!
Cool. I watched the DVD - ok its still playing. They did say you need to do that or you will drain the battery - but they keep showing 'previous year model' flashing. The manual tells you to park like that, but no threat of battery leaking. Weird. Just to be safe, I will do it. Thanks again to all that replied. Really excited. Keep taking it out of the garage.

The 06 manual still recommends shifting to Reverse to shut down, but the requirement to be in reverse for the shut down procedure to be completed in the 05 models has been eliminated for the 06s.
