Talking ANOTHER newbie

Hi there - just picked up my 08 this past Monday evening. Not a new one, but definitely new to me! Mine's Cardinal Red, LT2, and I'm looking forward to doing some cosmetic customizations to "make it my own." This weekend will include a top to bottom detail inside and out and a good wax job. The dealership did an okay job of making it look nice, but not quite up to my standards, tho, LOL.... Oh, and take off the dealership sticker and the dealership license plate holders. Yeah, they did give me a good deal - but I don't feel like giving them free advertising day in and day out, y'know?

This is my daily driver, and I commute 35 miles one way, so I'm sure I'll be racking up the mileage pretty quickly. My biggest complaint is the darn BUGS. I hate bug guts on my windshield. One of the first things I want to buy is a bug shield for the front end and some mud flaps....

I've been lurking for about a week on this site - lots of good info on here, and some pretty sweet rides! Wish I had unlimited funds so I could do everything all at once, but it'll have to be a little bit at a time.....

74 MILES ONE WAY? Ok, I don't feel so bad now - UGH, how do you deal with that every weekend?

I plan on uploading some pics this weekend, after I have a chance to wash/wax/detail....
