Road Trip
I recently sold my Volkswagen R32 to hop into a more suitable candidate for the Arizona environment. Ended up gettin' into a GT/CS in performance white. I had a 5.0 on order in Tucson, and it was looking like a 10 week window until I received shipment. Taxes there were outrageous, 9.1%! With the options I had selected, (backup cam, brembos, HIDs, and 3.73) the car ended up being the same price as the CS, which I ended up buying in New York while I was home visiting for a few weeks and selling my R32. With the options this California has, it was a no-brainer! She came fully loaded, HID's, comfort pack, and Navigation (which I didn't think I needed, but now realize how amazing it truly is). So now I am in Oklahoma, on my way to Arizona, and the car is at 2,500 miles after only 10 days of ownership! I broke her in properly, and it's been getting faster and louder the whole ride down. Truly an amazing car; after stepping out of a german go-kart, I can really say this was an upgrade in both power and comfort. While it doesn't have the same precision feeling in the steering and throttle response the VW had, I have no doubts that there is a relatively easy fix for those minor complaints. 
V8 engines!
Here are a few pictures, I don't want this thread to be useless.

Looks pretty nice! Though you should have straightened them. 
By the way, what's with the third shot? It looks like someone started photoshopping it to Grabber Blue. 
Sounds like you had a fun return trip.
