    Plan on taking longer lunch 'hours', making up driving excuses, and just plain awe over the next...oh...several months. I know I'm still in that phase! Congrats.

    Porky Pine, ...Way to go! Like me you will be forever looking for any reason to go for a drive and sometimes no reason at all except it's a fun vehicle.
    Just remembered..... you have all those beautiful October fall colors to look at back there in Ct while you're driving . I envy you for that.....used to be an Easterner myself.

    Got it back. On my way back, I was in awe of the total silence of the car at the traffic lights. Haven't done much driving with it yet. I've been too busy playing with the goodies on the display screen. I plan on visiting a few friends tonight though, :)

    You're right though. I plan on driving as much as I can. :lol:

    Edited to add: Did you guys hear the scream? Some birdie has already "Christianed" my windshield. :cussing:

    EEEeeeeeuuuuuuuuuwwwwww

    I did feel a ripple in the force. An addition to the fold. Congratulations on the new joyous ride. Happy happy joy joy.

    While it's tempting to try to find reasons to drive more, don't do what I did and take trips less than ten minutes. Your MPG will go to crap. You'll want to drive your friends and coworkers to lunch, but they will watch your mileage drop. Ah yes, the first time I ever heard the utter silence of stoplights, I smiled, then I giggled, then I openly laughed. It's a great experience.

    Congradulations!

    That happened to me after I just got it washed. Also having problems getting the lovebug stains out. Hope it didn't damage the paint.
