I was completely not planning on driving a car home tonite at all. I was figuring I might be placing my order for one, but they had one with pretty much every option I wanted except athracite headliner/chrome interior/piano black dash..... but in its place was the sports package with the web spokes (which look 10000 times better than the s-lites IMO) and the harmon-kardon sound (which sounds 10000 times better than the stock speakers!)

Congrats! I just traded my low miles 03 MCS for an 06, and I think it's better built, and like the gearing way better. Enjoy!

regards,
Red
