Very nice indeed! I love the look of LRG with the Kalahari color. You have a rare one there.

Beautiful choice and LRG really looks great on a convertible with that trim/interior.

Beautiful color, I had and loved an 01 green couple for 15 years, wanted to buy the new green, but waited too long. went with the NRB(love it too) BTW you parked close to the parking cement block. Be careful with that.

Right you are. I have a curb alert sitting on the work bench. Better install it soon.

CAGS is easy to avoid... run the rpm higher, or if I feel it push the stick over when I'm shifting into 2nd I just push it back to the left and into 2nd. Works every time.

I have also found it's easy enough to push it into 3rd when CAGS activates. My wife is still not used to it, so maybe a skip shift eliminator will help her.
