I'm still getting used to the feel of the car and I'm still a little nervous with it, I guess like when you have a new baby or something.

super66, I thought my side vents were going to be black instead of silver, but I think they look okay silver. Maybe I'll change them eventually though.
Same here...first time I stalled I was looking on the right side for the key...people blowing horns....i turned on the cruise control by msitake and didn't know what the dashboards lights were for...

was laughing my head off..

lets not talk about stalling....and then the fricken car is so quiet.....I stalled it downtown and didn't even know....and then I had to get used to turning the car off to the left first....then restarting it....it was my first manual car so I couldn't even drive with the radio turned up for months

alright LB, I think they woulf look great....I hesitated on that mod and the clear side markers at first.....but the clears were the best 20 bucks I spent....

and my car had a slurpee thrown at it the 2nd night I had it....awesome....and I scuffed my rim like a moron....awesomer....

At least I'm not the only one that stalled like that. I was actually sort of across two lanes of traffic too so I held up two lanes of angry drivers. I had the radio on so I kept thinking I had the car restarted but really I just kept turning it off again.

I hope nobody throws a slurpee at me!

I did have a little scrape the first day I had it when I pulled into a parking lot that was steeper than I thought. I think I must have scraped the underside of the front spoiler because it's not visible, but it sure was loud.
