Default New Owner Intro

I'd like to introduce myself and my new S2K, picked it up last night and took the long way home. Didn't get home till 11pm I can't say anything about this awesome car that you guys don't already know. It's an '06 Grand Prix White. I can't wait to get it broken in. Anything I need to be aware of right off the bat?

John

Welcome and congrats on the new S. It will only get better after it is broken in. I know its hard but make sure to wait the breakin period before reving past 5500. Read the manual and as much of this site as you can. Don't change your oil earlier than the manual says and save synthetic oil until after 10K miles. Also consider a membership if you will be sticking around.

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your purchase. Be careful on wet roads, the back end has a tendancy to slide on corners. You can get in over your head real fast until you get used to it. How long did it take you to find the fuel release button and I'm sure you know about the "secret compartment"
