I FINALLY GOT THE CAR TODAY!!!!
I put at leats 75 miles on it...getting used to the paddle shift, etc (was a bit stressed as many people in Houston are evacuating because of a looming hurricane (Ike). I LOVE THIS CAR.
Everything seems to work fine. The car is flawless. The clutch actually works!
At this point, I am a happy camper. I've had BMW's (loved the M Roadster-great value), Porsches, Mercedes (even a 1974 SD455 Trans Am) and ya know what, this car rocks.
Just had to "vent"...hopefully I won't be frusturated too quickly as I have an "issue" or two.....
Thanks guys...you have no idea how influencial you were to my decision.
