Stopped to take a pic on the way home VA to GA. More details to follow. Met Soupy as he picked up his CWM GT4 this morning.

Congrats!

You guys are killing me picking up your cars today and the last few days, knowing mine is 60 miles away in PDI - man all of the sudden the wait is real.

Stopped for dinner. Thoughts so far: exhaust note is amazing, love the shifter, not a big fan of the steering wheel...feels too much like the gaming wheel they mailed (in a cheap way), getting 25mpg highway...not bad

Thanks! Yes, eventually. Since this is by far the most expensive car I've owned I may let the newness wear off a bit before I do.

After putting 65 miles of canyon driving on mine today i have to say the most outstanding thing is the suspension. So different from my 14 PASM &15 X73. You can feel the cup car parts. carl

I put 700 miles on the car yesterday but it was pretty much all highway so it is hard to form an opinion yet but I can say I noticed a difference between suspension settings when riding on harsh pavement. Sport felt like sharper reactions and normal felt a little more floaty or slowing of the impacts. Not sure if that makes sense or not.

She's home safe and sound...minus a small scrape to the front lip.
