Hi...
Glad to hear about your buying experience and that you're totally loving your new wheels. I can't wait to pick mine up on Mar. 3rd. I'll keep your dealer name filed away for future reference. I got spooked about ebay since 2 people told me not to buy a car that way but so far it's been a good experience. I think the important thing is to be able to look/see/touch/smell/etc. whatever you're considering buying. I think my first purchase is going to be a radar detector. I remember test-driving a 1991 Carrera-4 before I bought this one. I was accelerating onto a highway from an on-ramp....I kept accelerating and before I knew it I was up to 100 mph. It felt like nothing at all; effortless. It's like the car took on a whole new feeling at that speed. If it wasn't for my wife in the back seat telling me how fast I was going, I may have been stopped. I think I'm going to get in trouble with it if I'm not careful!
Congrats,
Chris

Yep a radar detector is a worthy investment. I have an Escort that my wife bought me a while back, but you definetely go for a Valentine. It's the best out there. If you have the on-board computer, you should also use the speed monitor - it will chime when you hit a set speed. I have mine set to 80mph to keep me in check...

I looked at your pics from the link posted previously. I like the carbon fiber look as well. Have you considered getting a carbon-fiber steering wheel?

Nah, I don't plan on doing any mods to this one. It has all the things I would have done to it anyway. I'm just going enjoy it the way it is.
