congrats!

just remember 2 things... break-in period for the rev's and Johnny Law will still rain on your parade if your over exuberant in the twisties...

That being said, Enjoy the Ride. (oops, sorry, Nissan tag line from 1990s)

Happy Motoring!

just got finished driving it for the past few hours, and all I can say is people who don't drive this machine do not know what they are missing. I also can't believe th roominess and overall quality of the interior and leathertte seating. Will post pics when I get off my iPhone and am at work tomorrow.

17" crown spoke all season tires. I have to confirm on my order sheet bc I think that is right but was confused with my tire order.

They look nice. I was hoping you'd say "cheapo 16" bridge spokes" because that's what I ordered and I was going to be pleasantly surprised.

I think I'm going to be in the market for new wheels next spring.
