Hello! You have a great community here. I must say that I'm getting the fire hose effect with all the information that is available to read. I just purchased my new love a week ago Saturday, It's a 2008 Velocity Yellow Coupe with just over 33K on it. I cannot believe what this car is capable of right out of the box! I should have done this long ago......

Thanks for the correction.... I was told by the dealer I purchased it from it was "millennium" yellow. Never thought to verify. Thanks again.
