Re: Picking up my "New" used SRT tomorrow.
Well,
Thanks for the warm welcome. So far I can't be happier. It was really sad to leave my beloved SRT-4 behind at the dealership(I had a lot of fun and good memories with that car), but it was time to move on. The ride is a little stiff, and the cabin is "just" big enough for me (6'1", 250 lbs), but I'm comfortable none the less. What I was really surprised about was the fuel mileage. I had to drive 2 hours to get the car each way. When I picked it up, I went straight to the nearest Shell station and topped it off, just make sure it was FULL. I then took a detour and found some NICE back country roads with lots of tight switch backs, and CLEANED HER OUT! after thoroughly enjoying myself for about 50 miles, I found another Shell to top off again to check the mileage. So, after running the **** out of it for 50 miles, I averaged 19.3 MPG. On the drive home down I-95 with the cruise set at 70-75 MPH, it averaged 26.7 MPG. Obviously that was ALOT better better than I had hoped for. So Far, So good, but the brake pads have got to go... After driving it 250 miles (mostly highway) the wheels are already turning black...
So, it's safe to say that I am VERY HAPPY with this car. I actually feel like I'm driving a "real" car now.
On another note, I got my first impressive Kill last night too. A newer Aston Martin (see lots of exotics on every street corner in Northern Virginia) came flying up on me and attempted the fly-by, but as soon as he was next to me, I punched it and instantly pulled 1 1/2 cars on him. I then heard him punch it, and he had NOTHING for me. I continued to pull away steadily. So I guess Commander Bond failed that mission! 
I know it was a DB7, and I think it was the GT model (as it had what looked like a small GT emblem in the grill).
