Just got her back from Euro Delivery a few days ago and it's been hard to peel myself out of the cockpit ever since. Got my garage door & bluetooth all synced up, I'm set.

Congratulations! Nice ride. You California guys have it made - no snow tires there.
On the gas issue, I would only use recommended octane. Higher than recommended will not increace performance and could cause problems.

Get your windows tinted! I just got mine done (20%). IMO the car looks much better. It gives a more aggressive look to the sports package.
Can't wait to put on bigger wheels when it gets warm here.
