Drove over to the opposite side of town to visit my mom and show her the new toy. Just shy of 60 miles each way with a good bit of interstate.

Cruising in 6th it really does make a nice grand touring car.

Decided to snap a pic at dusk. Then on the way home I noticed I was hitting the 7,500 milestone. Tried to safely get a good pic but didn't pull it off before it changed.

Then after making a quick store stop for my wife at the end of the drive I decided to record a hot start so I have a reminder of what it's like healthy.

 

Oh also filled up and calculated MPG. 16.5. Have been having too much fun with my right foot

 

Sounds about right haha. Congrats, its gorgeous.

 

Last premium drinking car I had was my 2001 SVT Cobra. I could manage 21 if I behaved but 17 was more the norm.

 

Wait..... Your car has only 7500 miles?!
