RE: I won a 2 year lease.

How does the skip shift "feature" work? You know when it shifts from 1st directly to 4th. Does this only happen when you shift out of 1st below a certain RPM? Can it be turned off?

Any advice on a car cover? What to look for? It's going to be parked outside.

Thanks!

Simple fix to turn the skip shifter off, buy a K&N air filter.Just don't damage the 02 Sensor

Thanks, that's interesting...I'll look into getting that installed.

But, stock...when does it skip shift? 1st below a certain RPM?

3 weeks and 2 days after being told I won the contest, I will finally be getting car (tomorrow). It's been raining today for the first time in 2 months...sucks.

Anyway, looking for suggestions on cleaning products. Sponge vs. mitt, brands of soap and waxes that people like etc...

Thanks.

It'll look sexy in the rain. Congrats on winning Nype, post some pictures if you can.

For cleaning products, try Wolfgang's Deep Gloss Concours Kit. I have the prewax polish and paint sealent (haven't used them yet thought) Lol

RE: I won a 2 year lease.

Don't these things come with floor mats? I just noticed...

Wow, what a rush. And I haven't even opened it up yet, throttle wise. Only had a chance to drive about 100 KMs so far (distance wise). It's been wet and rainy here lately. I needed my bud to give me a hand closing the roof. I guess that's standard with a new top being tight.

Dealer didn't have the owner's manual and they are going to have one mailed to me. Not sure about the breakin period. What do I need to know?

I did manage to get my hockey gear in the trunk today, barely though. That made my day.

When I get a chance, I will put up some pics for sure.

About the floor mats, where can I get some?

Oh and the lease end buy out is $61K CDN which kind of surprised me considering that the MSRP is $128K CDN.
