Great write up! I really want to get an SLR now (been putting it off).
The car has been great so far. I had an outstanding ride back through the Appalachian mtns. I even hit some rain in Ohio. Made me almost want to slam on the breaks and perform the ABS breaking course from the PCD.
I'm still rounding up my pics. I'll post a few here and put an album together. I'll leave one for now.
