Continued...

in "Access" Mode





The HSE is Black w/ Alpaca Interior, options are Sirius Radio and Phone Integration...that's all I wanted didn't need all the other stuff. Thanks to my wonderful wife she was able to find this Black Beauty all the way up in Ventura (105 miles from home) so it was a fun drive up there and back.

Congrats on the RR. Are you going to slap some nice wheels on it?

Congrats!

Too bad you had to get rid of the GS; I think they make an awsome combination. All-in-all though, you'll be very pleased with the RRS- it offers a level of enthusiasm and excitment the the GS can't match. There's no substitute for the rumble of a good engine, and the RRS hit that nail right on the head!

Keep in mind it takes about 3 times longer to detail the RRS than the GS, so avoid those mud puddles as much as possible I know, because I just finished with mine. I'll get to the GS right after the Daytona 500

thanks, im really enjoying this truck...very solid and YES the rumble of that friggin V8 is intoxicating...

I'm familiar w/ surface area...i had an Audi Avant and waxing/detailing that puppy was a CHOIR

It's not so much the surface area as it is all the nooks and crannies that water hides in. You just can't get all the water off with a drying rag. I bought a Metro-Vac Blower, and that cut my drying time by about 75% - Or, you could go for a high speed drive to shake all the water loose
