Trovan -

That's Atlas Grey, right? Wow, totally beautiful. Congrats!
And we know that Arling never went over 4,300 rpm... so you're got to do a full break-in now... <g>

Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy. I can only hope that you're grinning half as wide as I do when you're driving. (People must think that I've OD'ed on Botox; my grin goes from ear to ear...)

Good luck,

-don

it is slate grey. i thin the contrast made it darker.

i brought the car home this afternoon and acheived my first goal of getting all the homelinks programmed. i was then called back to work and boy was i pissed. so i took the new car.......... i showed up with a smile and i took every detour possible and just kept driving. it is awesome.....

not sure if i hear the PSE that well. maybe because i shift at 3k RPM!! overall just an incredible car. i think i may actually keep a car for a while now.

I saw a set on ebay earlier this week. You might look there. I am sure you could sell yours pretty easily. As a fellow lobster forker I certainly understand your desire for change!
