Thats normal preasure for a dry sump system, no worries.

Sorry about the swirls. I had the Sam issue with my last new car. Some stupid shop monkey had apparently wiped it down with a dirty damn rag. Car was a mess. I had to take it back and have them buff it.

It happens, no telling how long it was on the lot. Half the cars there were still covered in ice and snow. Thanks.

Nice upgrade.

No need to say thanks, not necessary. Go for a ride.

Thank you. Yeah, I took damn good care of that car, it looked better when I traded it yesterday, than when I bought it new. Same deal as this new one, it was neglected on the lot.

I did almost the same as you but the opposite (if that makes any sense). What I mean is I traded my 12 SSB coupe manual for a 13 NRB GS auto. Couldn't get along with shifting after so many years being lazy with autos, lol. You just have to get what makes you happy in the end. Congrats.
