My new car came yesterday
I received my new 2004 Carrera GT yesterday and was able to drive it for the first time today.
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.

Congrats. I see snow on the sides - is there any salt on the road? or does it matter on a mostly CF body?

Nice to see one in my home state :-) Your officially invited to my Rennlist GTG @ Warren Dunes this spring. Such beautiful photo opportunities for pictures on the beach/Dunes. See pic in my signature below. Parking lot goes almost right up to the water. It's breath-taking!
