2004 (new) Brilliant Black, automatic, with the 2TR Touring Package: 18" wheels, moonroof.

Maybe it's just me, but I think this car looks beautiful.

I got up New Year's day and looked in the garage just to make sure it was still there and I didn't dream the whole thing.

Great curves & lines on these cars, no doubt. Very shapely!

I still do the garage peek every night. It always leaves me with a silly-ass grin. :D

Congrats!

16 Months for me and I still do double back looks. Sometime even three, and depending how far I've parked to avoid dings I'll even do four back looks. Yes Sah..

Congratulations and welcome to the club. A word of warning though the 8 can be a costly and time consuming mistress. I've spent countless hours keeping her clean, driving endlessly and staring at her for hours. I've been late to work and almost lost my girlfriend a couple of times, but to be honest I could really care less since I think it was time well spent with the 8. Like Irish said welcome to the cult.

Mucho Congrats to your new 8! And it's not just you - all of us think the car is beautiful, as do many other people. :D

And I still check out the car before going to bed, after getting up, and repeatedly in between. :o

Thanks everyone.

I took it for a Sunday drive on an open road. Then I found myself thinking, "wait, 600-mile break-in period and I'm traveling at 55 mph for too long. Have to speed up or slow down. And it's easier to speed up."

Then took it to the gas station, not because I needed gas but because I wanted to check the oil for the first time. I've had it three days and already the rituals are engrained in my mind.

(Just went out to the car to get something I purposely left out there so I'd have to go get it. Maybe i should put a sleeping bag in the garage.)

Oh, I forgot to mention. I was trying to memorize my new plate number and noticed that it has the letters RX in it. Is that a sign or what!
