I did it

I just got back from a 3 hour road trip from Dallas last night and picked up my vert. Graphite Shadow with Graphite interior, 6MT, ill. kick plates and the spare! Sewell did a great job having the car ready for me to go. Fantastic dealership.

Temp was 85 in Dallas when I left to come home and 70 in Norman when I got home around 9. I couldn't have scripted a better day for a road trip, especially for a day in February. It was -5 just 2 weeks ago here!

It is even better than I thought it would be, both with the top up and down. The shifter was a great choice. The shifts were smooth like butter. I can tell the car is not as quick as my 09 coupe 7AT and doesn't handle quite as good but the trade off is more than worth it. I was amazed how great the stereo sounded as well.

I already installed my smurf antenna and interior VLeds, too.

It is gonna be a great spring and summer!

I traded it for this one. It was a tough decision because the coupe was an excellent car. I had no problems except the seat bubble. It had almost 30,000 miles and I still had the original tires.

BTW, these seats are softer and not quite as tight but it appears the seat bubble issue has not been resolved. Oh well.

Welcome to the G-vert Club" You will forget your coupe... in few weeks or so.
