Low Mileage
Pristine condition
Fully loaded except for no spoiler, which is the way I prefer.
Owned by an older female so no hotrodding or modification issues.
Dealership did 100% of the scheduled maintainence and a couple of little warranty repairs (dash light burned out and interior rattle).
If it had been otherwise I would not have bought the car.

My wife nicknamed it my "Silver Bullet" and claims it is my version of middle age craziness.
Caught her sneaking it out of the garage for a drive a couple of times.
Shame on her.

My plan is to keep the car for at least 10 years and it will be garage kept except when I take it out for an evening drive or maybe on weekend outings.
No parking lot dings and that is the way I intend for it to stay.

Hehe, same thing happened to my wife after about a month of owning her FX...also I have to explain to her mom about once a month that if she looks at the gas guage, it has a little arrow on it to remind her which side the fuel door is on! (She has a jeep and it's driver sided) That little trick has saved me time in rentals

My "dher" moment came when after about 3 months of G ownership, a friend showed me where my "fog light" controls were...*FACEPALM* I felt a bit sheepish after that one

lol i had the same problem. dont know why they made it like this though. pretty stupid if you ask me. if they just made a latch like every other car, we won't have to worry bout putting our finger prints all over the cap.

I am not sure that little one could be called a glove box. It is just barely big enough to hold the owner's manual.
The locking box is just the right size to hold my pistol and a couple of extra magazines.

I'm glad I read this thread. I pick up my 07 coupe tomorrow. This might have saved me from getting very angry at the gas station lol.
