Thanks to all for the info!!

After a week of pleading my case I just finally laid down the law and ......well, what else? I begged my head off. I know, I know but it worked. I picked it up the past Monday evening. WOW!! It is great. Now that my wonderful wife has driven it she wants me to get personalize plates. Can't decide between "SHHWEEET", "DAVZ TOY", or "TOY4DAVE". Anyway, of the questions I asked I can say this:
1. $60 DIY Oil Change
2. Drive great on dry or wet pavement, Snow? Taking the company 4x4.
3. DIY looks fairly common. Although got a deal with the dealer of first year oil changes free and 7/70 bumper to bumper warranty at no charge and no deductable. All that for a couple of scratches in the paint and 1 on the front wheel.
4. 28 mpg with some driving fun included.
5. AM still sucks
6. Begging worked best.

Next question: Where can I get a look at the luggage I'm suppose to be receiving and is it of any real use?

See ya on the road.
