    Congrats! You're gonna have a blast in the C.:)

    This is only the second new car I've ever owned - few years older than you. We bought a Fit 5 years ago when it was being marketed to younger buyers. We can think young can't we?:cool:

    Enjoy your new car! It's also my second new one ever--I got a Corolla FX new in 1988 for about $7000. You're going to love it! Post pics when you get the car...

    Congrats. I had to wait over three months for mine to arrive. It was worth it. Of course, I can say that now. I was wound pretty tight towards the end of the wait. Let us know how you like your new toy.


    new iPad ?

    I hope you enjoy your new car! I left a 21 year old car for my Prius. It was so incredibly quiet (not only because the engine shuts off at stop lights, but because of the rattles that a 21 year old car accumulates.

    Take about 15 seconds everytime you get into in and just sit and "enjoy" the new car before you start it up and drive off. It is a great feeling.

    Blueduce,

    You will find your "Displayed Mileage" will be optimistic by about 4 to 5%. Just want you to be aware prior to filling up and finding that your displayed 60 mpg comes out as a calculated 57 mpg (which is still fantastic!). Keep your air pressures up and your top speed down and you will LOVE LOVE LOVE your mileage!
