Yes, this will be the keeper......actually I didn't plan on selling the 2nd car but when someone makes me an offer I cant refuse well........There is a twin or the "Doppleganger" as I call it arriving at the dealership in the next few days the only diff is that it has the Sport Pkg and no LSD. This was my initial order but wanted to change it and delete the Sport Pkg. I couldnt so I ordered another car. The 2nd car got here before the first?!?!? Go figure.

The car is now home I didn't get the car detailed just had them put gas and go. My last two were DS/DS, so I wanted a change. The Space Blue is perfect.

Here are the specs on the new car:

SB/SB
Premium Pkg
English Leather
Anthracite Dash/Headliner
LSD
DSC
Front/Rear Fogs
Xenon
HK

I'm Back in the Game!!! Soon as I can get my hands off the steering and on a camera I will post some pix.

HAHAHA.......I probably won't be able to make. I don't think I won't have enough miles on the car to drive like I want. Plus I might have to go into work for a few hours. For sure next time....

Space blue is a VERY sexy color. I wasn't crazy about it when i saw pictures of it, but it is one of those colors you gotta see in person. I was at the dealer today and saw all the three new colors. (Space blue, Solar red, Royal Grey) They are all wonderful colors. Royal greay for the win though.. :drool:
