Default Re: I bought my first coupe today - in Brooklyn!

Thanks everyone, the bad news (for you) is now you're going to be hearing a lot of stupid questions from me.

And thanks Mike, this is next on my list - learn to drive it.

Life is short so why rush through it. I double clutch everything now and let the rest of the world go rushing by. It sure puts a smile on my face.

I wish you all the best with your new, old car,
