It's Here! - Now with Pics

V8 SKY · 05-24-2006, 08:15 PM

I picked my SKY today and have already put 120 miles on it - 60 of them were getting home from the dealership - I had to order from Saginaw, and I live in Clarkston, MI.

WOW! I love it, even more than I thought. I drove the Miata this morning while getting all the stuff I needed, so I had the driving experience fresh in my mind. Totally different! I adjusted very quickly to the new clutch, and the new view from the cockpit. Much more enclosed, but feels great.

Already had a few comments, especially when I pulled into a parking lot where they were having a local classic car enthusiast show. Some of the guys hanging out were very impressed, and they had brought their 60s Camaros and Cutlasses.

Here are some initial pics, including a side-by-side if the car the SKY is replacing. I'm gonna go back out and DRIVE! It is overcast, but still great, and will clear for sunset!

Someone is trying to make a booty off of the high demand of these cars. I paid a good 5 grand less (for the car only) and that was for a NEW car... and of course a it was a SKY and not a SOL.
