Dan - thanks for the heads up. I already did my research on cost of insurance, tires, service costs.....it is scarey indeed. But I can't wait to feel the pain of it all!

jjsisabella - Thanks for YOUR list. It's a good start.....I am currently going through the TSB's I was just hoping to cheat a bit and just get you veterans to "feed" me with information. I'm lazy, what can I say?

As for the color. The SSB is gorgeous and grabbed me the first time I saw it. The salesman at that time was trying to smooze me and told me that it matched my eyes. At least he didn't follow up with matching the backends. HA! I also agree with you about how it would stay clean looking.

I've seen two Areo Blues in person and the one on tv....heck Dan has one in his photo album. It's such a deep, lucious color. I guess I'll know for sure when I sign the papers tonight.

Thanks for your inputs!
