spare equals weight, no thanks. I put a kit together of small air compressor, plugs, chalk, tools, scissor jack. copied the kit from my Z06.
Chris, give us some feed back on the car now that you hit 10K. Any rattles, fit/finish issues or warranty work done? I know the roads on LI and city can be unforgiven.

i have had my car 1 year-i have 12,000 miles on it and like chris, i put winter tires on it and drive it every day to work, as long as the snow isn't deep. to answer the previous questions-no rattles.

No rattles, runs like a scalded assed ape still. I got my snows mounted the other day. The only thing I've had is my 'spoiler failure' warning light has come on a couple of times in the last two weeks, but not consistantly, taking it in Friday for that, some electrical/computer bug I'm sure. Fit/finish is still great, no complaints at all. It does use about a qt of oil every 2k miles, no smoke, runs great, best car I've ever had. If I was doing it all over again, I'd get more interior leather peices......

not as a daily driver, but i drive it almost daily....if that makes sense? Going to the cleaners/home depot and other places just uh, doesnt seem right when i have a SUV that i can scratch the crap out of if need be.

The only bad thing about these cars as a DD is the lack of a spare tire. Case in point, running around yesterday between work places and I get a flat tire warning. The fix a flat thing is a POS, total hassle, I wasted the whole afternoon f'ing around with it. The braniac was that decided to abandon a spare needs his butt kicked 14 times a day. With a spare, I could change the tire and be on my way.
