First Thing You Did After Delivery?

Thanks. I drove like an "old lady" as I was unfamiliar with the car. Even with my very conservative speed, it was a great drive. I hope your delivery goes as well as it did for me.

I went directly for a dirve in the twisties, then sat in garage and drooled, then went out for another drive, then sat again and drooled, then took the wife and family for a drive, then sat and drooled...
Heck that pattern is still going on today. Just finished another round of Zaino, done drooling again, about ready to leave for another drive!

I took my C2S to an autocross while it was still in paper plates. I think you ought to get a -2 second PAX adjustment for dealer tags, it's only fair.
My RS I bought in Nashville and promptly drove it home to Houston. The thousand mile road trip was a great way to bond with the new car. Next best thing to Euro delivery (which was sadly unavailable when i bought my last car. I'm doing it for the next one though).

Wow, some of you are lucky - autocross, long trips home to bond with car, Euro delivery, etc. Sitting in the garage (no driveway for me, in a rental townhouse) reading the manual, wiping the drool from my face, with 4-5 trips out to the garage that night will probably be it on the first day. Friday's commute in will be heaven, I've picked out a nice long route. Currently house hunting so I'm hoping that the wife will have a LOT of open houses to go to that weekend.

If the DME report/inspection all goes to plan, I take delivery on Thursday as well! Glad to know someone will have a grin on their face that day, too.

I will let you know how it goes. Got the V-1 ready, but I am debating on leaving it home so I am not tempted to drive too fast. NH is top 10 for speed limit enforcement. I have to be careful. Today on my way back from the White Mountains in northern NH I drove through 4 speed traps in 70 miles of highway. The V-1 helped me navigate that mine field.

The Valentine 1 is good for SA--Situation Awareness. I installed it in mine sort of permanently and have it there even though I keep it fairly slow most of the time. It's just nice to know what's going on around you.

Thanks Edgy. I think I will take it with me for the ride. I too like to know when someone is watching me. It is my right to know if someone is monitoring my activities. Also have you looked at the K40 portable detector? I was wondering if it is as good as the V1? I am going to buy another detector for this car and unless the K40 is better I am going to get a V1. I suspect the V1 is the best, however. Thanks for all your help.
