Congrats. When I picked up my 04 anniversary this past July, Keith Crain was driving off with his seal gray CGT at Cook's. At least there's 2 in state now! Look for our RSR PCA club 2 day DE at Gingerman Aug 13-14. We will follow you.

I am going crazy trying to break in the car correctly, I read over the owners manual and they want you to keep in under 4,200 rpm for the first 1,000 miles. This car revs up so easily it is very difficult to follows these rules.
I posted some pictures of the car and my garage, here is the link:

Overall I am very impressed with every aspect of the car, I will do a more detailed driving impression after the break in period and when it gets warmer here in Michigan.

Thanks!!!
Thanks for all of the congrats!
I haven't been able to take my car out in over a week because of this horrible weather that we are having in Michigan. I do look at it everday though!

I have to say that is a wonderful car! I live in Michigan too and really hope that I see you on the road someday, it would be awesome to see that car in person.

Nice car and garage. I recently met a guy who was about to take delivery of his just before Christmas. I thought he would be the only one in MI. I was surprised to learn there were 2 more and now a fourth! My friend was driving down 96 and two State Troopers came out of no where, pulled up to him and gave him the big thumbs up!! I hope good car karma follows you. Are you SEM? Do you ever plan to track your car? I know my friend is it bit nervous but maybe we gather a bunch of P-car guys and head out to Gingerman.
Congrats on the Car

Congrats!!!
I bought mine last summer and I just love it.
I live in Indiana and our weather can be almost as bad as Michigan's, but that doesn't stop me...we had a nice, clear sunny day last weekend, so I had to take it out and put 30 miles on it.
What a blast..I still "pinch myself" everytime I see it or drive it!
Hey, with all of these in C-GTs in the Midwest we should have our own get together! We can show those coast folks! <gr>
Thanks
