Thank you Starfall. Can't wait to get mine so I can start hauling my telescope up the the dark-sky site that's 90 minutes from my house (it's too expensive to drive up very often right now).

 

Hey all...just wanted to check in and let everybody know that my Seaside Pearl came in this past Saturday. I didn't get to pick it up until Wednesday because I was moving over the weekend. She sure is pretty and took only 3 weeks to get.

Anyone looking for one in North Texas should check this dealer out...no price premiums and they get in about 25 per month.

 

Thanks starfall. I'm already having tons of fun with it trying to learn all of the ins and outs of the nav system and bluetooth capabilities. I'm definitely one of those gadget people and am in absolute heaven right now.

But the best part is watching that MPG slowly creep up and learning how to drive all over again to improve the gas mileage...44 MPG and climbing with a 1/3 tank left to go!

 

Well, I wound up with 45.5 MPG average for my first fill-up. I'm convinced that the only reason that it was that low was because I was having to "recover" from the lookey-loos at the dealership that wanted to test drive my baby before I picked it up...it had 8 miles on it when I drove it out (and a 20 MPG average that I improved while driving out the first tank).

However, on just the first 7 minute drive AFTER my fillup, I averaged 47.2. This is boding well...I could possibly wind up as one of the lucky ones with consistently high mileage...we'll keep the fingers crossed (and a steady foot on the gas pedal)!
