hahaha yes it took me a while to get my degree.

The kid on the right sold it to me at a great price! ^.^


I'm so excited ... words cannot express it lol


Though I must admit .. I was half "this is the best day of my life!" and half "dear jesus please don't wreck this thing" ... excitement/anxiety :P

Congratz. It is nice to see that level of enthusiasm. Some of that has been lost since last year and quite a few of the early adopters have already grown tired of the car and moved on to the next "shiny".

Enjoy that beauty!

Congrats! I've also got fond memories of the day when I first picked mine up. Crazy thing is, I love the car more now than when I first got it!

Congrats! Around here there are two to three at each dealership. There's even two or three used ones with 2k to 6k miles.
