Default Picked up an '05 today...

Pretty happy with it so far...it's been years since I've owned a stick and years since I've driven anything besides a pick up. Probably almost 15 years. Wow. Anyway, a few pics...











(and yes, I already removed the dealer sticker above the rear "V" emblem!)

I feel ya on the "WOW"...I've had S/C Cobra in the past as well as a built Notchback Mustang...But for the 2 years prior to buying the V I was in a 4-door 4cyl Tacoma with a top speed of uhhhhhh 84 mph or so. I still can't believe that I didn't get a ticket in the V in the first couple months. It still amazes me to be able to pull out and pass WHENEVER I want.

I'd like to make it out there but have a prior engagement. If I can get out of it i'll make it over there Sunday.

Let me know how their dyno compares to SNL. I think SNLs dyno is about average with the hp but a little on the high side when it comes to tq.
