Yeah, that was quite nice (though a little expensive!) How you like the 6th gen? I took a peek last time I was at NTN, just couldn't do the interior. I'm sure it will grow on me though. Where's the pics????? :-D

The interior turned me away when I looked at them the first couple of times. The ultra suede or WTF ever that is that wraps the doors and dash just didn't look right. I can't say that it's growing on me yet, just doesn't offend me as much. My biggest complaint about the interior is the center a/c/radio/everything else display. It's just too damned busy and the orange display reminds me of an old dumb terminal. WHERE IS THE GUI! Give me a screen saver or something. But there are lots of things about my AE that I didn't like at first and now I don't remember what they were. BTW, they were/are discounting them a little now. I got the 04 for a little less than the list price was on my 01. My net payment went up less than $20/month and I bought an extended warranty. I'm still under $500/month.

Go drive one for a couple of hours and you'll forget all about the beach towel material on the doors. You can drive mine if you want. I work on the North Tollway at Frankford. Have your people call my people, we'll do lunch.

Well congrats man--I hope you Max problems are solved! I would definitely like to see it in person sometime soon. I work at the DNT and Plano Pkwy, so lunch is very feasible. I bought my car new in February, so I'll be keeping it for awhile (assuming there are no major problems.) I am curious to see how it performs with the "265 hp" variant of my engine. You get 6 speed or auto?

6 speed. You know about BD's Mongolian? Razoo's maybe? Also a most excellent Philly Cheese Steak place on Northbound DNT at Rosemeade? I think.

Sweet! Glad you went for the manual! Dunno BD's, only done Ghengis Grill on Beltline; I'm not too picky--just not a fan of Asian food! lol

I'll PM you my office number. Give me a call one day when you have a chance. Call by 10:00, I work 06:00 - 15:00 so I usually have lunch plans nailed down fairly early.

Hey! I'm from Philly and I resent that. You cannot...I repeat...you CANNOT get a Philly cheesesteak in Texas. Period.
