Hey Matt (LIParothed) and Roy (yur1279), it's nice to see some more fellow LI'ers here!

Matt....how does she look? How does it compare to past GT convertibles? I ordered my Satin Silver 05 GT vert on Saturday....can't stand the wait now!

We'll have to have some sort of LI meet this summer.

I agree. This summer we should have some sort of LI meet. I still have not seen any other 05's on the road here.

Agreed. Port Jefferson would be nice, and a few brews at Tara Inn can't be ruled out!!

Once you get out and drive it you will not believe how tight the new Vert is. With the top up I felt it was as good as the coupe. It loses only a little with the top down. I purposely drove over a steep drive to only feel the suspension work not the body !! Post up pics as soon as you can. I'm thinking of buying the white/black combo I drove or I can wait on a black/black combo thats coming in. Good luck with it!!

Thanks Mike

Thanks for all the kind words folks, but you can't make this stuff up. Long Island got pounded again yesterday with four (4) inches of snow on top of frozen rain, as temps went from the 40's to nearly zero overnight. I can't even shovel the driveway today, and I'm to pick it up tonight!!! :angry:

Can't even imagine how bad it's going to look after driving it home from the dealer, a mere 10 miles away. Pix are going to be insulting to say the least. If I can hang in there to pick it up (and man does that stink), hopefully you guys can hang in there for the pix.

It's the perfect time to take a picture in the snow with the top down with that poop eating grin on your frozen face

OK, OK, OK...picked it up last night. Here are a few pix to whet you appetites, just taken this morning in the driveway. She's back in the garage, 'cause she hates the snow & cold as much as me. More to follow...

That is one of the best looking cars on the planet .... That black on black w/ red interior is the only way to go ....

If you can, get us some shots with the top down .... Congrats !!

More pix will follow later today. The sun was beaming right on it, giving it a glossy look. I'll take more in the afternoon (with the top down), that will look much better.

OMG, that looks awesome. I had been on the fence about the black. But seeing your vert with the red interior has locked black as my choice. I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures.

Enjoy your car!
