I have gone back and forth on the wheels and ended up with the standard 9 spoke. The multi-contour wheels did not impress me and I thought about the chrome 5 spoke but they are not available. The AMG's look much better and the LE's are the best I think.
I like the Black and cream interior, and the pewter and cream interior. Next to the LE, those are the best out there IMO.

You, my friend, are the funniest. You've gone from 9 spoke shoes to 5 spoke shoes in a mere week!

I do, however, agree with the impact statement regarding the interior. The only one I've seen is the black interior mentioned above...your interior color is tight! Much nicer looking. Keep up the good work...I'm waiting to see what you actually come home with...my money is on a crotch rocket, green, with chrome pipes and a hot looking mama on the back, doing 130mph across the desert!

Close but the color selection is off...I like yellow/purple swirls and maybe some flames on the rear fender.

Funny I wanted a change in interior color from the beige but this interior with the two-tone looks really nice and the wood really stands out. Anxious to see it in person.

Are you gone yet? Out on a USA cruise?

Better strap the laptop to your passenger seat, find wifi spots all across the country and post detailed logs on your trip.

Be safe.

Due to the switch in cars I also had to switch my trip plans. I will pick the car up in Denver this weekend and then return to LV. Trip will be in early May as it now stands.

I am waiting for Apple to come out with their new iBook laptop but Steve Jobs is playing "secret agent" so I just hope it will be available in May?
