Welcome, Keith. Next time it snows in Atlanta, everybody at work will love you.
In the meantime, you've still got a great car. Sporty, but stealthy. When you are cruising along with some BMWs or Mercs past a speed trap, you will be the least likely to get pulled over by the cops.
I lurked on this forum for many months before buying a new 2004 2.7 tip in Dec. 03 as a "Winter car". I like the ride (and this forum) so much that I am still using it more this summer than my "Summer car"(which has nearly 500hp).
The ONLY things I don't like about the car are:
1) Brake-throttle delay ("Tip Delay")
2) Stuff keeps falling into the Parking brake hole in the center console. (battery, Palm stylus, pens, gum wrappers, coins, peanuts, steel nuts, cigarette lighter)
Solution to 1) I have repressed my frustrations over the tip delay.
Solution to 2) I am more careful about leaving stuff under the brake lever. And I now can get the arm-rest/center console off in about 5 minutes.

After a NY dealers, I was shoked when they inflated tires to a requested level
and provided report about treadware and %% of compound left on the brake pads as part of service invoice.
I was acpecting only a car wash.

Which Goodyears did they put on?
I got my AR at Riverside too, but they put on a new set of Pirelli's which as we all know suck in wet weather. Would love to hear which Goodyears they gave you and how they perform in the rain.
