Default New addition to the family

A little more than a week ago we added a new member to the family.....a beautiful 2006 model, black onyx with ecru interior. Now, I look forward to the evening drive with my wife and kids. Yes, we manage to fit our kids in the back for a short drive (sometimes)....they wouldn't want it any other way.

This car is a pure joy to drive....so much fun! As someone put in another thread "At the end of my day, my SC is the best fun car I have ever owned. Period. No apologies." It's a bit early for me to make this statement but I tend to agree with it being the fun car...no regrets here either. Yes, I wish it was a little more responsive. At the moment though I am getting spoilt by it's richness and luxury....will worry about the speed (or the lack of it) somewhere down the road when I get bored with it...if I ever do

I would like to thank y'all for helping me decide on the SC. I am sure I will be needing help again to pamper this new addition

Here are some pictures I took today....as you can tell it needs a bath soon..... I will post some more later.

Enjoy

Options2k,
sweet ride.& heres a warm welcome from a fellow Texas SCowner.
cant help but agree on some of the comments made in ur thread, the sc may be slow on the pickup but this is a real CLASS ACT ride. Ive owned a number of cars and still do; that dont give me 1/10th the level of satisfaction i get from driving the SC down I35 w/ the top down. not to mention the # of complements i still get & i sport an 04'. enjoy the time with ur SC buddy. now head out & rack up them miles

congrats on the purchase, you will definitely enjoy the SC

I just wish you could drive my SC, it has come along way from being the slow unresponsive car she use to be :-)

ps that was code for "start modding her asap"

Congrats on joining our SC family. I'm old and drive slow , so my car is looked upon as a luxury cruiser on Sun afternoons. I can tell you that after owning 37 cars, my SC is the best ! Your car looks terrific, good luck !

Default Thank You

Thank you all for a warm welcome...and comments.

Now to the mods/improvements. I will probably start separate threads (if needed) on each possible topic. First, I need to catch up on reading.
