It's official!

Hello Motorists,
Yesterday I got the title to my new car: a '08 MCS, blue with white top and bonnet stripes. Stick shift, comfort access, hifi stereo and nav, black cloth interior with blue leather accents. I love the way this car drives! I've been driving it for about a week, and got back in my '95 Civic and couldn't believe how vague and mushy all the controls felt. I'm looking forward to learning from everyone here and contributing to the discussions.

Welcome to NAM, and grats on your acquisition! I went from a '97 Camry to my S back in 2010 and remember well what a drastic change it was, going from an appliance to a car that is meant to be driven, and almost begs for it.

Post pics when you can, and drive 'er in good health!

OK, I think I finally got the hang of linking to gallery photos. The color on the sticker tag is Laser Blue. These photos were taken at dusk - the real color is a more vibrant blue. Thanks for a warm welcome!

BTW, does anybody know the name of my wheels? All I know currently is that they are 16". I'm curious to find out the width and weight without removing the tires.
