    I'll be interested in hearing the real world gas mileage. Looks like a nice ride. It will be replaced in how long????

    Nice ride! one thing my brother found out, his was a base model, but the wiring harness is the same for all... so when he wanted auto headlights, he ordered the auto switch for $17 and plugged it in, works fine. not a way for a complete upgrade, but if you want a particular creature comfort...

    what tires did yours come with? i had a rental (V6 auto) with pirelli's and they were howling at 26k... ymmv

    ^Good to know, thanks! I got the performance package and it comes with 19" Pirelli summer tires. (Didn't really want 19's, but wanted most of the other stuff in the package)

    Its probably a white balance setting in the camera. Good looking car though.

    In the EXIF data, right click then click properties. The info is under details. In this case it is the field light source.

    Why didn't you get one of those crazy blue ones? Kidding!!!! Saw the color choice while fondling Super Duty's yesterday... You picked the best one.
