Thanks guys :) Definitely gonna be driving it topless as long as I can

Yeah, its an aftermarket CFM Baffled Billet Valve Cover Breather Kit, I brought it with me when I picked it up last night and installed it. Waiting for my charge pipes, then ordering a DV and FMIC before a tune, leaning towards Livernois right now

Gotta say, love Sync 3 already vs 2. Home screen shows the map along with what's playing and your phone and apparently there's a rewind function if I'm not mistaken, gotta test it out sometime

Think I figured out her name on a side note, definitely debating between my two characters from a story I'm working out, give it another day or two before I officially confirm it

More pictures to come today, as well as further driving impressions. Just wanted to comment and say good morning :)

Really impressed still, only minor issue is nothing tuning can't fix

Still has my ideal cruising sweet spot and I feel I got to sync down to a science. Once I tune it and I reach the break-in period, might be tempted to visit Raceway park to see how she does

Now for the bossman (my dad) to take a spin in it, see what he thinks. Wanna see my sister's reaction as well, hopefully later today

Now to figure out where to go to get my accel # higher

As I mentioned, she's a beauty especially with your choice of seats! I'm curious though, did you receive your Convertible caps? They should have been shipped in the trunk. But some vert buyers are not getting their's.

Congrats Mike, so sharp! But why give your ex a ride? Should just drive right by waving! :D

She's a good ex, and also I wanna show her sister (and mother) what a current gen is like (they both have 06 V6's, coupe and vert)

I got the caps, haven't installed them yet and so far, only real negative I really notice is the cowl shake, its perceivable for someone whose never dealt with it before, but being in NYC with these roads and the top up, it could be worse

What else, Dad loves it, everyone whose driven it does (even my one friend who I suspect is jealous) and taking it on the highway, love how 70-80 feels like 50.

Currently at a job site in the city (by the FDR), wish we could leave, really wanna drive with the top down while it's still warm out

Congratulations. Beautiful car. I have a 15 black vert. You are right about the cowl shake. I owned a 13 and an 04 and they weren't as bad as the new S550 in this regard. The chassis on the new ones is much stiffer and the ride and handling much better though.

Thanks, got home in one piece despite driving in Manhattan

Hard part of finding a picture of my ex is I wanna get a good one, but hell, here's from last year with her twin sister (Ex on the right)



And in this picture, here's the caps on my vert:



Car was a gem the entire time, although if there's a way to fix the cowl quiver, I'm doing it after I install my mods and tune

Wonder what I'll do tomorrow, might just visit JHM to set an appointment and stuff up
