I see, that's kind of a bummer but not a big deal... I usually get gas as soon as I see the low light come on anyway. My current car has no electronic displays and a pretty inaccurate fuel gauge but I've never run out of gas with it.

So how's the road feel and everything? Does it feel like your typical newer car or does it feel a bit like a classic sports car? Has anything impressed you yet?

wow hot lava looks great .... I decided to go for the Dark grey... but always had hot lava haunting me...

Have fun hot lava man ... gezzz... we still dont have a price in Aust or even a close delivery date... im sick of waiting .. so jealous. .

The burnt orange in shade looks close to a dark red. mmm... I like it.

I'm still playing with the seat to find a real comfortable position. I wish the lower bolster would move up and down but I'm still confident I can find a super comfortable position.

Fit and finish seems to be excellent. No complaints.

I think I'll definitely be getting the TRD lowering springs when they come out (both for looks and performance) and also perhaps the rear TRD spoiler (though my wife keeps trying to talk me out of it as she says she likes it better without). Have no desire to tint the windows as I like seeing out at night but i can see how it would make the car look awesome during the day.

The dealership went out of their way to make me feel like it was a special sale. The general manager is quite a fan and so we spent a lot of time talking about the car. I'll have more impressions after I've driven it a bit more... speaking of: I think I'll go drive it a bit more. Back later.

ngabdala · 05-11-2012, 12:25 AM

I thought we were supposed to trade our wives/girlfriends in for a better model when we pick our cars up?

Really? Thanks. It's the fence I built around one of our gardens.

YOU BUILT IT YOURSELF?!?!?

You deserved the number 1 car, and 2, and 3, and Jack Hollis' car.

That fence is magnificent.
