What a week. killed my 03, picked up my 07

What a week last week. I introduced my 2003.5 to a fire hydrant two days before I was supposed to turn it in at the end of my lease! It rained a little in the afternoon and the road was a little more slick then I anticipated. I fishtailed left, then right, then left, then right...you get the idea. Eventually forward progress was halted when the left rear tire jumped the curb and smacked the fire hydrant. I limped the two blocks back to my office and called the cops. While they were out there with me, my sales man calls to tell me the 07 I ordered is ready for pickup tomorrow. I told him about the accident and he said come get the car anyway. Return the old one when it is repaired. So now I have 1 1/2 G's.
On a much more positive note, the 07 Sport I got has everything except the 4 wheel steering. I opted for the automatic. I have 350 miles on it and am loving every aspect of the car. It is not the same car as an 03. The refinement, lack of rattles/squeaks/creaks, endless power, great sound from the tail pipes and the stereo have caused a permanent smile for the last week. I cannot seem to wipe this grin off my face. What a great car. Thanks for "listening"
