It is. I've been waiting on a certain realestate transaction to complete, which it did. I had placed a deposit down on the car @ a month ago.

It's actually raining outside as you read this. I can't get a nice side shot in the garage with the other cars. But never fear... As soon as I can clay-bar her down and slap on some Eagle 1 NanoWax...

Thanks! Very true doug. The iL on the otherhand are much more in abundance.

Never had a TL. Wife has an 06 Pathfinder. I did a core exchange for a set of the stock 19's in chrome that you see. And eventually I will install the Sevas which I don't have as of yet.

Congragulations. I'll wish you luck with it and respect your decision, even though I don't have a high opinion of the car myself. I DO, however, like the big, wide strips of medium-color wood paneling on the dash, console, and doors.....more cars need to have interiors like that.

If you are having trouble figuring out the I-Drive ( and who doesn't ? ) try PM'ing genearch with your questions...he is probably CL's foremost expert on how to use it.
