Picked up V8V today

Guys,
Just picked up a 07' V8V today, absolutely love the car and still can't stop smiling.

One question, during the final test drive, the warning light came on saying my left turn ind. light failed. However, nothing appears to be wrong looking at the turn signal. Anything I should look at before taking it to the dealer? Service techs are off today.

TIA,
Peter

I had the same thing with my V8V showing that there was a left turn indicator light issue, sporadically. It even made as strange sound to go along with the message (like the sound when you put on the turn signal but twice as fast). I took it to the dealer and they showed no problem with the light. Eventually, the message went away. Strange, but probably nothing to worry about.

Acabrera, thanks. That's exactly what happened with the turn signal, it came out of no where and blink twice as fast. I will wait and see if it goes away.

Pictures will follow later today...

I would guess Quantum Silver. Meteorite Silver always had the greenish tint in person. Love the color!

Congrats!

Thank you all, can't wait to get out and drive it :-)

Miker39, Amv8indc - it's the Meteorite Silver, somehow it doesn't have the greenish tint to it.

Adulay - it's a 6 speed manual.
