Yesterday, I was tired of just sitting in it I couldn't take it anymore......I took it for a couple hour drive.

The roads were still a little wet and sandy but I had too much fun to really care. I took it for another drive today and brought it home and gave her a nice bath. I can't wait until this darn winter is over so I can drive it every day!

Yeah, it was fun to drive the X in the snow. A huge difference from the 03. I could really make it up the hills without a problem.

Everytime I wash mine it rains.

This is even after calling up Environment Canada!!! I plan on washing mine today as the forecast calls for a few nice days and the roads are drying up.

LOL... you need to change your strategy.
Wait 'till they *call* for rain...

Mike, please don't wash your car until they call for rain. Our forecast this week is fantastic and we don't want to ruin that.

Too late. The sun came out so I washed her. Of course the heavy clouds rolled in but I finished in time.

Forecast still looks good so I'm hoping the spell is broken. I'm planning to get the coupe out a few times this week before she goes into hibernation.

The forecast looks great here too. Tomorrow, I'm actually going to drive it to work for the first time.

Sorry if you already addressed this (i didn't read all replies), but I was curious about the dealerships logo that they put on left rear trunk area. Did you/are you going to remove it? Is so, how?

Your car looks incredible. Now I want a spoiler on my X.

As far as the dealership sticker that was on the trunk lid, that came off as soon as I got home. I personally can't stand those things. I heated it up mildly with my wife's hair dryer and it peeled off easily. It only took a matter of seconds to remove.
