Congrats on the very sweet ride, but holly crap...454 days!! Were you specifically waiting for the '05 model, or just located in the middle of nowhere?

By the way, those are some gorgeous shots, what camera are you using?

You waited for the local dealer. I couldn't stand the wait so ordered out-of-state. I thought my 7 months was long. She does look great - but your've got to tune in 94.9 rather than 88.5. See you round (look for the DS/DS '04 if you are ever in Wallingford).
