Congrats. I've got 500 miles on mine. Its hard (impossible) to stay out of the throttle. The thing I notice is that they are deceivingly fast because of their weight and ride. Can't imagine what one of these would do with if it weighed 3600lbs. and could get traction.

Enjoy

Well I just got back home. It is amazing what kind of reaction the L gets. I allready had about 6 guys try to race me, none of them had a chance and I didn't even get on it much. I didn't run into a Mustang or Vette, just normal family cars.
I was doing 75mph on the highway just minding my own buisness in the left lane, I passed a town car who was doing abot 65 mph. All of a sudden he is doing about 90 coming up on me fast in the middle lane, I slow down a little to let him go, and he slams on his brakes and sticks right to my passenger side.
At a Dunkin Donuts a guy in a F150SC comes up to and askes me if it is as fast as he heard, I said sure is.
Wow all this in just a few hours, hehe man it it fun. Heading to my friends house tomorow he doesn't know I have the L yet, he thinks I am going over to use his garage to remove the stereo out of my old truck.He thinks his 328i BMW is fast might I just have to show him who is the boss.

probie hey bud, you won't be able to blow by me quite as easy as you did on thursday, LOL where is your brothers place maybee I will meet you there one day.
