Perfect Dave! Give me a call if you like the OZ's on the other one (It's in Naples), I did those.....what do they say....something about the best form of flattery?

Anyhow, enjoy in the best health. These are in 20" but 19" is now available....

Dave, your pictures are sooooooo much better! I can see the vibrant orange much better! Looks great!

I love the matching iPod...."Yeah, my iPod matches my nine-eleven TURBO..." how cool is that!?

You're a funny guy, I like the sandwich & passing gas comment hahaha. What about the drip of coffee spot

I drove 540 miles today!

I think I might be just a little insane.
My wife went to NYC for a show tonight and I'm not working this weekend. So, I thought I'd put a few miles on the car to break it in.

I started my day by stopping by Ira to see Alfie and pick up my formal registration for the car.

Then,....I decided to drive! I played around with the cool new touch screen nav and selected Lime Rock as a target. I did a mix of highway and back road driving. Some of the towns around Lime Rock were really very pretty driving through. Then,....rather than heading how,...I decided to go to NH Motor Speedway which is the home track for my PCA chapter. Then I decided to head home. All together 540 miles in about 9 hours total drive time. Averaged 22 mpg. I've put on 920 miles since Thursday!!!!

I LOVE the way this car drives. I am just having a blast. Tomorrow I should hit 1000 miles....which to me is the break in number. Yeah it's arbitrary but it's what I used on my C4S and that car ran perfectly. I can't wait to blast past that 4200 rom wall !!!!!!

I must be crazy.

More pics.......oh yeah:

That's great! It's nice to see an enthusiast that drives his car year round and in the snow! I would've done the same thing.

Thanks guys.
I'm off for another drive now, but I'm thinking more like 200 miles....I don;t think I have another 540 in me today!

Dave,
Great to see you are out enjoying that awesome ride. Lets see more High res shots, I need new screen savers. I think Black HRE P40 or P43 and Black Side mirrors would complete the look
