Yeah it's a wicked nice color. But so is the slate color. It was a tough choice for me. I remember moving them both next to each other and standing there with the sales person for 20 minutes just trying to decide on what color I wanted. She was remarkably cool about it although I guess when someone is going to drop greater than $30,000 worth of commission in your lap you don't pressure them when they are deciding on a small yet incredibly huge decision like the color.
I didn't get the 350 because I wanted the options and I could afford only either the bigger engine or the options. I test drove the 250 and it was fast enough for me to settle on. I say settle because I still lust over the faster engine. I am probably better off with the smaller engine though because as it was I almost got in trouble on the way home from bringing back my car. I "accidentally" launched the car up to 60 in a 45 mile per hour section of road not seeing a cop there and got pulled over no less than two lights from the dealership having just bought the vehicle.
I got off though because I cried and told the officer I wasn't used to this big of an engine and it unexpectedly accelerated too fast on me. It worked I got off with a warning. I don't think the officer would have bought it if I had the 350 rather than the 250.

I'll have to think about if I want to lower the car. I do think I want some nicer wheels. Hopefully I can sell my OEM wheel. I also want to buy one extra wheel of the one's I get so I can equip the full size spare tire with the same style wheel. That way I don't have to look like I'm limping along with a crappy out of place wheel.
Not sure about lowering AWD, but if you did wanted to lower, RWD would be more for it.
Nice one... at least you are lucky enough to get-away with it. People like me in the other hand, specially in VA the moment they see my DoD stickers the ticket is guaranteed. I really don't like VA cops... I think in VA is the only state I drive at the posted speed limit.
