The weather was finally decent enough to snap a few photos of the new car, although, its a little dirty already.

However, being 19 degrees (F) outside, I wasnt about to try washing it...
















After just 100 miles, I am really in love with this car. I-drive was a bit daunting, but after 3 days, I've got it figured out pretty much, and I actually like it quite a bit.

The Logic7 stereo w/satellite radio is the absolute BOMB. Its unbelievable - the best factory system I have ever heard.

And how cool is that integrated voice activated bluetooth phone? If I could only figure out how to get my address book loaded, I would be set. Even without all the numbers in my contacts, its still marvelous to talk & be hands free.

I'm having trouble getting the homelink remote control to work with my 5 year old Genie garage door opener. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be much appreciated.

And until the break in ends, I'm having to be a little reserved in shifting with the 6MT. But holy cow, its fun. I did push a little today when some punk was on my ass on an Impala SS. I had to step on it and leave him behind....too much fun.

Cheers to all of you......

- Pete

Congrats

Hopefully the weather will be nicer and the salt will be off the roads when you cross the 1,200 mile barrier. Let me tell you, the first time you really hit it is mind blowing....

Congrats, grad car you have there. Regarding the mobile phone sounds strange that you can not see the phonebook while bluetooth connected, it should go automatically. To set the gate opener check out homelink web page and check if your gate automatization is compatible. Homelink

Great looking car. I like the Alpine White more and more each time I see it.

(Brilliant album too!!! I'm loving The Fray at the moment!)

Pete,
If your white car still looks that good when its dirty, then you clearly made the right choice!

Glad to hear you're also enjoying the Logic7

Enjoy...

Congrats and good luck, great car,enjoy. You might want to call Homelink direct,I believe their # is in the manual and they can talk you thru setting it up. Thats what I did and everything worked out fine without the hassle. Again good luck. Don't forget to buckle up.
cheers
