newbe saying hi
Hi from a newbe in Massachusetts. I got my new red 8 on Friday. Got an ok deal (invoice + free washes) but the dealer is 2 miles from the house so it's ok. so far the car has been great. My fife says it's my mid life crisis car. We started off looking for a car with good gas mileage (my Dodge ram gets 12mpg). Figure that one out. So I get to keep my truck and we have a summer car too! I have some questions but will post then in the proper forums.
Thanks
Bob

Crapy weather up here so I don't any pics yet. I got the A/T Touring package (wife doesn't like leather) with the ground affects package, in dash 6 cd changer, rear wing spoiler and spair tire kit. I plan on dressing the outside up a bit with the stock chrome accessories (fathers day gifts!).

I envy your spare tire kit - I coulda used one a few months back. The goo doesn't help when a big screw is stuck in your sidewall (but an even bigger screw does, lol).
I have the cloth seats too. I picked 'em for the better grip. The things are like velcro in corners

Welcome, well I hope you didn't buy the 8 for better gas mileage. Don't be surprised if it dosen't do much better than your truck. Although you have a A/T so it may do better.

Thanks for the welcome guys. Wurmfirst, that's funny. I didn't get it for the mileage. That's why my wife says I'm going through a mid life crisis. all the cars that get good mileage don't look all that good. we decided to bite the bullet and get something we love to drive.

I wholeheartedly agree with you! You sure made the right choice with the 8. It's the sophisticated buyers sportscar.
:D :D

Thanks guys. I got the red A/T (so my wife can drive it) with the Touring package. No mods yet, I've only had it for a week now. 5 of those days it was back at the dealer getting touched up.
