Nice photos. I like the desert scenery, although the second picture looks like it might be a location for a horror movie

Congrats on the new ride and thanks for the pics. Did you go with the AT or MT? I've got a white MT coming in later next month, and am chomping at the bit to get behind the wheel.

Really. With a name like "Lake Pleasant", it could be anything but.

To answer another post, they tinted it while I was signing papers. really good service. My salesman and I had worked out the tints (35 front sides, 25 everything else a few days before).

They had originally wanted 1899 over MSRP (ya right), worked them down to a number I thought was fair (500) and they threw in (maybe accidentally) a bunch of stuff: sport grill, carpet mats, bumper applique, edge quards, cargo tray and organizer.

I added the side moldings and wheel locks myself. Plan on adding interior lighting as soon as I get the proper hole saw and drill bit.

I fretted over that choice, could have ordered either, but since I am approaching old-fartdom I went with AT. I do play around w/ the paddles some. I think the AT is very nice, much better and smoother than others I've had. I'm not the boy racer I once thought I was!

I read another post by you about the accessories and came back to these pictures to look more closely. I like the molding and grill on the white. It gives it a more "upscale" look.

Nice scenic pics. Looks spiffy! I didn't even notice the body molding until you pointed it out. Goes along the factory crease well.

I still can't believe you got the sport grill thrown in "free". You LUCKY dog. </jealous>

Your car looks great and wonderful pictures. I really like all the extras on the 2009 - makes for a total appearance package.

Sweet looking ride. Looks awesome with the tint. I really like the white looks classy. Side moldings and sport grille really do it.

Those wheels look rad. I had thought about powder coating mine white to match the paint. But I'm happy with the stockers for now.

Good luck on your new ride.

LOL... I was going to say "boss" or "cherry" ("keen" is soooo outdated) but I changed my mind.

Thanks for outing me as, um, mature.. ;-)
