[Tricky Ricky]

So true! Only drawback is I don't drive it in the rain, so this June it's rarely out of the garage!

And the cost of insurance is such a pleasant surprise - <$350 full comp per year :D although I admit I have full NCB. Still compare this to $1.5k for the cali :(

[oneightoo]

Hahaha LOL about the Calis :D

They can be a POS and most have caused their owners plenty of grief :(
