Here are some pictures of the interior, as someone requested. This is the auburn leather with anthracite maple trim...

Umm, if you mean the cubby below the CD player, I think it is my cell phone tucked in there... Jon.

There's some kind of knobby rubber pad installed on the floor of the cubby, and the phone stays in ok.? It slides from side to side a little if I turn sharply, but I haven't been able to accelerate hard enough to get it to slide out onto the floor.
Thanks, Jon.
Thanks, Jon.

[/quote]Yeah, I've got about 900 miles in the 1st 9 days, so it should only be a little longer until I can start pushing it a little harder. I'm amazed at the power while staying under 4500rpm... I have to keep reminding myself that there are another 2000 to go, all with the same torque since the curve is fairly flat from about 2500 to 6500... As SpongeBob says: "I'm ready! I'm ready! I'm ready!"
if you have a leather case on your phone, i think you probably don't have to do anything and your phone will sit there ok. but sounds like you don't since you said your phone slides from side to side. if one day your phone slides out, don't pick it up while driving. a friend of mine did that and she hit the curb and her car flipped over :'(. she was ok but only a few minor scratches on her arms and legs. very lucky.
