Christmas Day Has Arrived!

Well, my time has finally come and am now a very proud owner of a 2007 Barcelona Red Touring Edition #3! Originally I ordered the Seaside Pearl #5 but later decided that I did not need the NAV since I do pretty well in navigating myself around where I need to go so I found it unnecessary to have.

I picked up the car this morning at Totoya of Merrilliville, IN. I want to thank the PC poster Norman R. for referring me to the sales guy Brian B. whom gave me the $1,000 off MSRP and much friendly service! The whole process went very smoothly, no pressure and was out of there within half an hour (financing was already taken care of).

The drive home was the best 120 miles I have driven thus far, and my starting MPG was 47.5. Not bad for starting out mile wise! I am very eager to see how far i'll get on a tank of gas over the next two weeks on my regular work commute (at 46 miles a day, 230 a week).

The Touring Edition of course has the Bridgestone tires, so I'll see how well those do. Beats the joker Integrity tires, and the handling was quite good as well. I also like the idea that I can actually hear my radio much better compared to my Olds, which the wind noise was quite loud at highway speeds, due to worn door seals.

Well, time for me to crack the books and start some reading.....though I learned the majority of my knowledge here at PC. I am going to have fun learning my new car and all of its features. B)
