Wow, my SUV guesses were way off. That is a far prettier car than I had imagined.

Glad to see you made it home OK, sweetie. But I think it was a lot cleaner when you left here.

Have fun with it.

'Tis much sleeker and sexier than any old SUV! :D

While the outside may have been cleaner (1100 miles takes a toll), I beg to differ about the inside, which is now wonderfully vacuumed and wiped down.

So a zero-sum difference, I'd say. ;)

I've only almost stalled it once, and that was starting from a dead stop in third. Ooops!

I will, though I still have yet to really rev it up. I know, sacrilege. But I'm getting truly amazing gas mileage...

Squeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Some Top Gear! :)

OOOOOOH, niiiice. So when can you ship it over? :D

Pulling off in third will do that - I have to remember that every time in the stop-start traffic I have on my way to work every day.

Sadly, it didn't come with its own Hamster... ;)

I think the shipping costs might be a little prohibitive...

I'm pretty good at finessing it when I have to (though in this case I didn't realize!) - my transmission in my Sentra once seized into fifth on the highway and I managed to get off the highway, pull into a parking lot, and even park perfectly in a space - all on fifth gear. That was a whole lot of fun. Also, the mechanics admitted you don't see a manual transmission do that very often - my curse on all things mechanical (which makes weird things happen) is still going strong!

I imagine the trip back was pretty smooth driving in that. :D

Give that to me this instant.

It's a comfortable ride, but the suspension is stiff (gotta corner well!) so it was a bit bumpy. I definitely appreciated the counties with the good roads.... :D

Come try to take it!
