My car came with the mats, splash, and kick plates without having to get the dealer to throw them in. :P Don't really need them as the splash guards are useless to me now. Anyway, good luck, Pennsylvania brother!

Ok! Here she is. This is by far the best car I've ever owned. What took me so long I don't know. This is a terrible cell phone pic, will take better one's in the day. The car was only 3hrs old before it was christened as well. The tire shop put a tiny scratch on one of the rims when they were putting on my blizzaks. They didn't try to hide it either. The manager came right out and told me what happened. He gave me the option to have it fixed or no charge for the tire install. I took the free install because I can buff it out myself. They're going to be my dedicated winter set anyway. Time for all the unnecessary trips to the store. Thanks for the welcomes.

Take it very easy in the snow even with the Blizzaks.

Congratulations! So, are you planning on doing any autox or HPDE with your new toy?

...By the way, never take it to Cochran Nissan on W. Liberty Ave. They're a bunch of crooks

I won't be doing much driving in the snow. But just in case I had to put snows on.

I spoke to the guy who actually did it and he felt horrible. He was trying to be extra careful and took a little over 2hrs to put them on. So he wasn't trying to rush things.

I don't plan on doing any autox as of right now, but you never know .
As far as the coch's go, no way in hell; they do have a bad rap. I bought it at John Sisson pretty good dealership, but will probably take it down the street to West Hills in Moon.

I love this car the more and more and more I drive it. It's like a drug which I hope I don't have to go through withdraw.

Be safe!
