Another Newbie

Hello ya'll. My wife and I picked up an orphan about 10 days ago. Still have our reservationa and don't plan to desert it. Love the car. We certainly turn heads when we use it. Every time we park it in a lot we come back to see people staring and peeking into it. I am 6'-6" tall and about 350 lbs. Fit comfortably believe it or not. Great machine and lookiing forward to many miles. So far about 40 mpg. on tow fills.

My dealer told me to carry a bottle of windex with me because people like to come up an look and touch the car. They get their finger prints all over it :-)

Haha! My dealer didn't warn me, but I had to get a bottle of detailer for that very purpose!
