What a traitor? Is that legal (35%) tint? I was thinking about 10% tint (uhm.. yes....illegal... but safety check is good for 2 years initially anyway) when I get mine.

paeko73, the tint is legal because the dealership did it but I like it and wouldn't be too happy with it much darker at night.
I drove that thing all over the south side yesterday; first stop was back to radio shack at ala moana to exchange the defective mini plug for my iPod so I could listen to it in the car, then to the new Best Buy, then I went cruising down H1 to Kalanianaole hwy to Hawaii Kai then around that way back to Kailua. It was raining and overcast out this way.
So have you ordered a car? 350? Let us know what you are getting.
Oh, unless you really want them, don't let them talk you into getting the wheel locks. They seem to think it is required because it is listed on the sticker.

Kailua250, I ordered a 250 RWD like yours, but I went with the Glacier Frost Mica with Sterling interior. The saleman didn't know for sure when that one comes in. He said that there's one GMC 250 coming in late November, still available, but that one does not have any options on it, not even the 18's wheels. I told him that I will have to look at that one first to see how it looks like (he himself has not seen the 17's either). Therefore, I'm taking a chance on that "base model" being sold to someone else since I can't order 2 (knowing that I'm buying only 1). Good to hear that you took it almost around the east end of the island. Did you try the handling around the curves by Sandy Beach? No try it yet.. it's still breaking in.
Did you trade in your old vehicle?

I don't know if I could have 17s. The 18s look small to me. But I haven't seen it in person either. That's the true test.
I traded my focus in. Definitely a step up, wouldn't you say!? I should have sold it myself. I could have gotten $2k more for it. But I am lazy when it comes to selling things myself. It was such a hassle selling my Grand Cherokee 3 years ago.
