CONGRATS!!!!

Pictures!! If you post them - I'm pretty certain I can get one on the opening page of Rennlist.com - and there has never been a CGT on the opening page (yet )..

Best to you - and good for you!!!!

You will love the CGT. All the new ones should evaporate soon. I would apply the 3m film to that brand new baby and be careful with your new toy.

Picked up the CGT yesterday. While I have driven the CGT before, I spent alot of time in it yesterday. The car is incredible. The ride height can be a little concerning in certain areas (pulling out of certain parking lots, speed bumps etc.). The clutch is really a non issue. I find it easy. The only thing that was tricky getting used to about the clutch was being on a hill or incline when the car rolls back and when maneuvering gently over a speed bump on different angles so as not to rub the spoiler. When you make up your mind to let the computer do it, you have to stick to that. In these situations your natural instincts regarding a manual transmission come in and its a little different with this car. If you just allow the car to do its thing it is quite easy.

I am trying to post pictures but the files are too big...

Woodster,

I don't know about that particular ****, but option "GAG: Gear lever CF" was available from the factory for $470 according to the 2005 CGT order guide.
