Great report and video! Valveck is a sweetheart like her smart. I had to lough about the subwooter, that's ok you are human and subwoofers are probably not a big part of your life.
Tell us all about your adventures.

Sorry guys I posted the story and video on another thread - the "took delivery" thread.

I was really hoping no one would notice my great audio system speaker trove of knowledge.

Oh, and... "I've driven a car before..." continued to say it starts like a mercedes with the electronic ignition... Anyway, he was explaining how to breathe and I JUST WANTED MYYYYYY SMART!
the time it took was not bad but seemed like forever.
I will scan in my invoice and post it on the members site; but I confess, I just paid the dealer prep fee because I was tired. I am, after all very old - 64- as the reporter was gracious enough to Print.

I hope I don't have a flat since patching it inflating it then getting it back on the car is not my idea of fun.

Its really easy to drive, especially if you've ever driven a stick. The car feels REALLY big inside. You feel driving much like sports cars I've had.

The seat warmers were GREAT YESTERDAY. Boy, the heater really works.
