Default Took Delivery Today!

Took delivery today of my 2007 Solverstone Red/Black interior.

My house burned down about a month ago (posted previously), taking my '05 with it.

We've been living on Lasagna for about a month and the first thing I noticed is the '07 is a tad smaller.

Other things on first impression:

-"glove box" is great.

-lost the passenger seatback pocket and can't get the optional ones any longer.

-steering wheel is nicer

-gunmetal radio cover is nice but doesn't match the gear stick any longer.

-seat leather is nicer

-wheels aren't as nice and seem to stick out past the tire more, but look easier to clean.

-passenger airbag defeat is nice

-throttle seems a bit less sharp

-my 1-2 cold tranny grind is gone completely

-roll bar speakers are as good as my old headrest speakers.

Overall, I'm really glad to be back in my S. I've missed it terribly. Now for the next 600 miles...

"A tad smaller"? Maybe you got bigger from eating too much Lasanga.

if you have an 06 - why would you need to see pics of the air bag cut off indicator?

...just look at your car...

Will get pics up in the next day or two. Between working and driving, photographing was less of a priority.

because there is no visible air bag defeat switch on the 2006. i was wondering if there was a "switch" for the 2007 model. on the 2006 model there isn't even a disabled light. so what is the 2007 owner talking about?

that is all.
