Wow...I think you got Hobbes just shortly after I picked up Pip--and he will cross 5000 on the way to work in the morning.

No picture, but Comet is only 5 miles from 1200. I will hit that on the way home form work.

Then the gloves are off.

Comet now has a little over 1300 miles on it. I am enjoying not worring about the RPM's. I just drive it and smile.

I remember what that was like when I bought my 2004 Mustang GT new and my 2007 ZX14 too. Glad I bought Bazinga with 19,000 on it. Made the decision to pull to redline off the lot that much easier.
