Hey what can I say... I *LOVE* this thing! :D I think my 8 yr old daughter likes it even more 
I'm thinking about getting the REVi intake and maybe the exhaust... should I wait a couple of thousand miles before installing it? Does it affect break-in?
The dealer put the sun roof air deflector thing on it and I don't like the looks... it messes up the look of the car. Anybody have any experience taking it off?
Oh, and how high does the volume on the stereo go?
Only problem so far is that my cheeks hurt from grinning all the time....

I think I had the radio up to '43' and it was deafening so I gave up...
I like the AutoPilot feature... go 80 with the windows open and the music still sounds OK.
Oh, and no wife to mess with the car although the look on my daughters face gets interesting when zig zagging around cars at high speed

The deflector is held on by screw-down brackets that hook under the lip. Just loosen the screws and it comes right off. I had the dealer remove the one on mine before I bought it. I didn't like it cutting off the size of the opening.

Hi all. I'm a Welshman who has just completed his first week in his new black 8. 1 week, 2000 miles. One huge buzz. 95mph over the snake pass. Only 95 I hear you say? You need to look at the snake pass on a map. Wouldnt have got home safely if not for the pre-emptive glances at the sat nav. Hell I feel good!

I don't write as well as Along4TheRide but I agree with his The 1st Thousand Miles post completely.... I Love How It Looks and I Love the Way She Makes Me Feel
Thanks fredw1... it looks pretty easy to remove the deflector but I just didn't want to break my new toy!
The stares and kid's open mouths are hilarious
