I got my car.

I had to drive 250 miles the night before to get money for the down payment I promised the dealer (he had it written on the PO so I had to get it). Got home at 6:30 am and slept til 8. Went to the bank with my sister (she bought a Volvo station wagon yesterday and yes, we are very different). Picked up her car at 12, which took til 2.

I got to the dealership at 4 and left around 6. I took the long way home.

It's strange, I had that 92 LX for 10 years and I know this V6 vert is completely different, but it feels like going home again. There's something so familiar about the car and I like it.

It's going to take me weeks to get the seat and the side mirrors adjusted and to figure out all the stuff inside the car--I didn't let the salesman show me anything because that's half the fun of getting a new car. I told him I'd come back in a week if I had any questions.

The handling isn't as tight as I'd like it to be, but I'm coming off of a Honda S2000 but it is much better than the LX.

I think this car will be my favorite. I like the color more each time I see it.

Oh, it occurred to me the only pictures I have of my Honda are from EZ Pass violations. I don't own a digital camera. I'll run a toll and when I get the picture from EZ Pass, I'll post it.

Congratulations! Great color! Looks so much better in person. If you haven't already, don't forget to check out the Legend Lime Registry thread.

Thanks for all the dancing fruit. I'm doing a happy dance right now.

I ran a toll tonight. It wasn't intentional, but I don't have the velcro strips to put my EZ Pass on the windshield and I guess I didn't put it in a good place. I should have a photo soon--assuming they can read the temp tag in the front window.

I'll post the pictures when I get them.

Congratulations on your new pony. They're really moving the vert orders along nicely it seems.
