Back in the saddle

Hey everyone. As of yesterday I am part of the club again. Picked up an 06 machine silver 2LT with ebony interior, manual of course. ( I will get pics ASAP) I got a great price and had a great experience at City Chevrolet in san Diego. I ended up getting the car for ~39k!!!! I couldnt believe it! Anyways I am stoked to be back, a few may remember that I had an 05 over a year ago and have regretted being without it.

One other thing. My girlfriend asked about the fuel the car takes. I told her it was designed for 91 but apparantly the computer can retard the power to make lower octanes run. Anybody else doing this at all? No plans to in the near future but I was just curious.
