I picked it up today, and am in the process of finalizing all of the paperwork with the bank.

That is a great color, I toyed with buying an techtite '04 recently, but am holding out for a wagon...

That car is optioned out. They weren't even available with Nav, though the factory system could be retrofitted easily enough once it came available on the '04 models.

Its been an awesome car, plenty of power, and very fast. It gets excellent fuel mileage, and has been rock-solid in terms of dependability...


Well, I was made an awesome deal on a car that I have been after for quite some time now...


So, since you guys like to play this game, what car did I get....?


Hint: It has 4 wheels and is RWD.


First one to get it wins a special prize!
Is it an 1983 Corvette?

Ahhh, there is nothing like a mega-dose of HP/TQ to get you going in the morning.



I think I may have reduced commute times.
