Default Picked up an 05 tonight...

Just picked it up around 8pm tonight (well technically last night). Any thing i should know about break in and stuff smart things to do/not to do with the car? I've been researching my tail off and i've been trying to find the best prices, and i finally found the best deal i could on a lease offer. So here she is.

What exactly do you mean by 'red head rest thing' ?

see how right behind the headrest, it's red, instead of black. I hadn't seen that before. you can notice more when the top is down. take a second look.

Just take it easy (<6000rpm) for the first 600 miles, if you want to go by the book. However, it's also highly advisable to give it some full-throttle runs once warmed up. In other words, floor her from 3000-5500 once in a while.

Yeah man i know, not sure how much they charged me for it, but it gives the car a REALLY nice finish. Looks even better in person too.

Did you get the $299/mo for 36 month deal that Honda is running right now? Or were you able to do better than that!?
