I wish you congrats in advance. Very nice color, btw.

Despite my 'newbieness' to this forum, I've learned that it's very important to keep an eye on the oil level consistently, and keep topping off as needed. Every 3k miles is when I plan to have my oil changes.

Also, don't turn off the engine when it's cold, and wait for it to warm up until you decide to do so.

Other than that, have fun!

Nice looking car. However, I would opt for a manual over an auto. You would be happier in the long run.

its hard to tell in the picture. But its actually Phantom Blue..

My favorite color for the 8.

Black at night, sexy *** blue during the day.

Look at the 2nd picture at the door sills you can see the color.
