    I haven't owned anything newer than a 2002 in my life and finally decided to do something crazy and bought this baby brand new yesterday. She's the Platinum trim with the center console vault (pretty cool, btw). I drove her to Orlanda and back from Jacksonville today and she rode like an absolute dream. I can't wait to start customizing her.

    I've been reading this forum for about a month straight and you guys are awesome!
