not counting my chickens yet though!

no, but you made the decision and went for it.

HungLikeJesus · 10-27-2010, 09:21 PM

Crazy question, I know, but what's the listed gas mileage?

Cloud · 10-27-2010, 09:35 PM

depends on the drivetrain, but EPA city 25/hwy 30. it's a turbo, so takes premium fuel tho

HungLikeJesus · 10-27-2010, 09:43 PM

We'll probably be looking for an AWD vehicle of some sort to replace my wife's Subaru within the next year or so. That get's about 26 mpg, so it's in the same range.

It looks very good in white, good choice.

Cloud · 10-28-2010, 02:45 PM

headlights from hell!

Did you get the rear roof spoiler? I saw that today and it looks cool.

Cloud · 10-28-2010, 04:11 PM

well on the one I pseudo-ordered, yes I did. I sorta got talked into it, so I'm glad you think it looks good.

Why spend $400 on something that has no purpose, obstructs vision, and says the owner is so easily manipuated as to ... well I also remember fashion designers said guys should wear four inch platform shoes.

Everytime I see a spoiler, I see someone who can be manipulated even by Karl Rove.

yeah, but you're a wanker with zero social skills, so who gives a fuck what you see? No disrespect, of course....

Cloud · 10-28-2010, 09:50 PM

Perhaps. But I haven't spent a dime yet, and am under no obligation to buy from these people. You want to see what I WON'T spend any money on, and what I told them I wouldn't even consider? I'm aware the spoiler is non-functional, but this crap? $2000 worth! (shakes head)

ADM stands for Additional Dealer Markup

no shit.

and tw.... the spoiler makes the car look better esthetically.... and therefore serves a purpose. when you sell this car, it will have more eyeball, and hence more value.

it also gives you something else to tie your Christmas tree off to.

xoxoxoBruce · 10-28-2010, 10:30 PM

That won't fly with tw's Mr Spock routine.

Cloud · 10-28-2010, 11:03 PM

the back end of this car is kind of squashed, in comparison with the front, so I think the spoiler gives it a more balanced look. I'm quite capable of refusing if I didn't want it. I wouldn't say it's functional in an aerodynamic sense, because I strongly doubt it.
