Thanks for the words guys... Shes currently sitting quietly outside my home:
A few things I've noticed in the less than twelve hours that shes been mine:
- The radio fuse is dead, so I'll need to replace that. My guess is that it popped after they changed the battery earlier this week
- When its clean, my God, its beautiful. I need to take lessons on how to make it look like this all the time...
- I need to get used to the shifter. I'm not missing gears or anything, I'm just too used to having to force it around like I did in the Jetta. A very slick setup they have in this one.
- I found some neat compartments today when poking around. The arm rest is perfectly sized to hold a few CD cases, and the cigarette ash thingamajig is perfect size for a cell phone (but because its backlit, I'm not going to keep it in there). And then there is the cubby holes on the dash as well.
- It really feels like a fighter jet when all the lights are on inside at night. Not having the radio, its just cool having it be quiet, and just driving around listening to everything.
- Oh, and for some reason, it seems like it takes extra effort to close the rear hatch. Just not what I'm used to I guess. Bonus is that it is huge and can carry pretty much everything I'd need it to.
Otherwise, I can't complain much. I got it on a pretty good deal, and things moved pretty fast this afternoon to get it. I'll update more as I get to know her better...
And sadly, I don't have a name for it yet.
Enjoy the car!
but congrats anyway. I'm just glad this thread has finally resolved itself.
(and excuse me for the bold statement)
