Congrats on the upgrade! Yeah, the break-in period is tough but just be patient and you'll be having even more fun in no time!

Well AzNLeX250 goto the mod forum and ask for a name change, AzNLeX350 AND~~~ no more 250 owner group depression threads for you unfortunately thou you will take a 10mpg hit on your fuel economy. The trade off? even at 1/4 throttle on a normal road at a stop lite you'll still be out alone ahead of the herd
Ha, will do. Gas mileage isn't really a problem to me. If you're going to fork out that much money, then it shouldn't really matter about gas either. I've been tempted a few times to floor it to really see what it can do but just gotta say to myself it will pay off later

Thanks and yea, the 250 had cashmere and I just can't keep it clean like new. Really glad the 08's have black flooring.

It looks like you took a $4K hit. That's not bad considering the car lost that as soon as you drove off the lot the first time. But remember, you just lost another $4K driving off the lot yesterday! Oh well, everyone needs a car and we are fortunate to drive the best.

Mom and I sat down with our last salesperson and were only suppose to talk about financing but the numbers worked out and we ended up purchasing it anyway.
Be sure to give your mom a hug. Sounds like it wouldn't have happened if good old mom hadn't been there.

Yea, trust me I did. They were inspecting and fixing the seat squeak and dashboard rattle. She was only there to sign for the loaner but ending up getting a new car anyways.
