Hey guys I apologize for my recent absence, this is my first time on the new server must say wow! Then again, I have been saying WOW a lot the last 24 hours. My Pre-order was delayed so rather then waiting another month, I bought one straight off the lot with 6miles. The difference was like 900 bucks but what did I get!?!?! Well of course go big or go home, GT package with Navi for 31,100, that’s 2000 off MSRP, I can't resist a good deal. So far (I hit a frog... is that bad?) that really happened but beside that im getting down adjusting to stick, the first hour was hell a lot of jerking going into 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th. I have a Video of the first day but im having troubles ripping it (frame loss ages). But I Do have Pictures of my baby (see below) ... I think im the last of the moderators to get the car so looks like I'm going to be "moderatin u long time". Anyway, the car is a rocket in 2/3/and 4, the navi is accurate and useful as hell, I put 130miles on in 24 hours (half a tank left, hopefully was a result of my noobness to the clutch). More later, ill be installing oil cooler protect ants, which should be fun, but for now I leave u with some pics of my baby.

Bad for who, you or the frog?

Anyway, as a general rule... with SMALL wildlife it's better to hit it if you don't have enough time to slow down or avoid it safely... you'd feel pretty silly if you hit another car while avoiding a squirrel or whatever...

In my driving career I have, to my knowledge, hit 2 pigeons (in flight) and a rabbit.... And my mother (while I was in the car) has hit a seagul at 80Mph with the windscreen glass! (Didn't break, well the seagull did!).
