The best feeling is when you drive in and see it sitting there in front of the building all shiny and just waiting to be driven..... good luck with the wait!

Okay, I actually got some shut eye. Now just have to make it thru the day at work. Hope it will be busy so the day goes quicker.

10 more hours :chuckle

lol, the best is forsure what Sean said. When the salesman takes you out back to show you the functions of the car. It's that first glimpse of your car all clean and brand new. Now that's priceless (or just shy of 30k)

haha only, then how long to drive 1000km before you can "really" drive the car :P

Tell me about it. I'll be so stoked on the drive home and can only drive 90-100km/h :pop

Oh well, it will still be more fun than driving my 96 Civic.

dude.. just drive like you stole it.. it'll help with the engine break-in.. seriously.. no need to granny it.. let her rip.. as soon as she's up to operating temps.. do a few WOT runs and then you'll be golden!

Yep. This is pretty much what I did.

I haven't done any hard drag-style launches with it yet, but I've definitely spent some time at WOT. :chuckle

About the only concessions I've made to break-in was exactly what's said in the manual. No hard starts or WOT before warm-up (which you should do, and I do, all the time anyway) and no travelling for distances at constant speed/rpm.

Thanks

I am really enjoying driving the car. I am getting the rustproofing this weekend and soon will be getting the tint. Once that is done I am going to use Turtle Wax ICE liquid Clay, followed by TW ICE polish, and the detailer.

I'll post more pics then

Great Car!!!! :bana2
