woohooo! what a blast. me and the new lady in my life got acquainted yesterday afternoon and last night. Love it... It's been raining and the forecast says more rain for the next 2-3 days. I plan on cleaning her up this weekend to see how good or bad the paint really is. Pull the wheels off to, clean 'em up and take some pics for those interested in them. I can't tell how wide the rears are by looking at them but they look llike the 10" version. She is super low with the H&Rs... couldn't really push it at all since the roads were wet, but I can definitely get the sense that she will stick to the road like glue.... I am excited about warmer weather and enjoying this car with my kids.

By the way what brand of tires and are they all the same with the set of wheels? Did you buy a tiptronic or is it 6speed manual too?

How long total was the wait on shipping? Considering the same route myself... but picking it up and driving home might be too tempting. Haha. Congrats on the purchase.

total time was 2 weeks. Which it sucked waiting for it... but the bad weather curbed that a bit. I would have gone absolutely stir crazy if it hadn't shown up with this nice weather we are having now...

Spent all morning cleaning it with my 10 year old twins yesterday. They enjoyed helping yank the wheels off, cleaning them inside and out, cleaning the brake calipers, etc... Then we went to a car party at a friends place...kids just enjoyued hanging out in the car and people walked by and asked about it. They are more proud of the purchase than I am so far...

Have to say I am very happy with my purchase. The thing is an absolute blast to drive. The kids are still young and small enough to fit in the back seats and enjoy the ride with me. And I have never gotten more thumbs up, positive, enthusiastic responses than with this car. I have had more than a handful of cars in my life and this one in the first week of ownership has already recieved more attention than all others combined.
