Its cool man! They had one just like it at the dealer when I bought mine last week. I'll admit that the gears started turning and I started justifying it in my head, lol. Not sure how I talked myself out of it, I almost lost me, lol. I have a 2011 Titan pick-up as well, so it was just hard to justify that kind of money for a "weekend car" again. I will be driving this GT much more than my past ones, and I would have never done that with the GT500... maybe someday.

No doubt. I live in San Francisco and this is my daily driver so I'm a little worried about scuffing her up. I have a garage and I'm always careful so hopefully she'll stay nice.

I coordinated a 2-week vacation to follow the pickup of this car. So I'm taking a road trip! I'll break her in nicely -- vary the RPMs and take lots of breaks.

I'm leaving Monday.

I say drive it every day!! It's a car... I've been driving mine every day with no regrets since 08... Has over 52,000 miles on it now... If I get a 13 or 14 next.. I will sure as heck drive that one every day... They are cars meant to be driven... But then again I do live in Fla and only have to worry about rain...
