Check out my pics of Pierce in the Official Pure Red thread! It has been a blast to drive and people stare at him like crazy. I now have 120 miles on it and have slowly been putting my finishing touches on it. I am happy to report that the run flats are not all that bad on Atlanta streets. TDoleman333 I know you are super excited about taking delivery today!

It looks like Atlanta is buzzing with new Countryman's this week

I'm surprised at how much attention these things get.

I picked up the tag for mine today, what a mess Our county (Jefferson) has made headlines all over the country since it recently files bankruptcy (largest ever). There is only one place in the county for everyone to get their tags, so you can imagine how long the line was....3 hour wait.

But, I always wanted a Barber tag and I thought it would match my white with black Mini perfectly (Photo of what it looks like below). I have spent a lot of time at the track and actually helped build the museum. I also used to do a lot of photography work for a magazine at the track.

So, Tdoleman333, how's it been driving Brickell. I was out of town last week so mine sit in the garage. But I got it out as soon as I got back. The car definitely has a personality.

I hit 700 miles today. I'm loving it. It's not my primary car. I have driven my van about 2000 miles and our Lexus about 1500 miles in the same time period....yes, I drive a lot.

I'm up to around 1500 mls. We did a day driving trip this past Sunday. It's a very comfortable car for traveling.

We have really been pleased with it, a very fun car.

Ha! I beat you guys. I now have 1700 miles after the trip to Tn. My sister took me on a wondeful road where I was able to really zip around the turns for about 25-30 miles. My low pressure tire warning came on about 60 miles outside of my destination and I assumed it was because of the change in altitude but it turned out that my rear driver tire had picked up a piece of metal. The car drove perfectly though. No noticeable vibration or noise. Luckily the tire shop was able to patch the tire. My car is definitely loosening-up as the miles add up. I was not thrilled with the mileage since I have been getting around 21 city and only 29.5 at about 75mph on the trip. I hope this gets better. What kinda mileage are you guys getting?
