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.

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.
