I love the interior...it's clean, soft indigo colored gauges, easy climate controls that I like a lot. Some people dislike the plastics, but if this is the only downside to this car, ha fine by me. The leather interior is even better than my last car. The seats hug you like grandparents. I also love the freaking steering wheel. I find this odd. The shape of it just puts this monster at my fingertips, so purposefully.

The outside of the car is stunning, striking, athletic, built, tough, powerful, I could go on. I find myself disgusted with almost every other car I see on the road. I've almost stopped looking at them entirely.

I've hawked autotrader looking for cars for the last 6 months and I've bounced around from Ford Lightnings, Subaru WRX STI, and just anything I could potentially enjoy commuting 60 miles a day with. I'm not a mechanic, but I love cars. My dad is also a big car guy and has 2 older Corvettes. I let him drive my new toy and he loved it. He said his Vette was a rougher form of power and the Camaro was faster. I showed my Pop Pop, who spent 40 years working @ GM and he loves my car. I wanted something fast, unique, that could get up to 20 MPG, that made me forget about work on the way home. Boy did I get just that.

I previously owned a Hayabusa motorcycle for 5 years and loved that thing. I think this car surpasses that initial giggle I had inside my helmet. I now have it all. The speed, the comfort, the brawn is all there. I never had a standard transmission, and I've read the tips that you guys have discussed. What a joy driving is again, like I'm 16.

Oh and btw my Brembo calipers are like sparkly as shit. Is this normal? It's like they have flakes in the paint. I'm going to take a ton of pics this weekend when I get her cleaned up.

danthemuffinman,

WELCOME! And congrats on your SS! Glad to see how excited you are! How was the initial drive?
