Pulled the trigger...

[sal98]

... last Friday and I officially joined the ranks of gen2 Vmax owner's. It a stock pre-ordered 2009 (#840) with 1968 miles. :eusa_dance:

I drove down to St Louis, MO from MI in a marathon 18 1/2 hour round trip journey to pick up my newest toy. Left at 12:30am last Friday and got back home at 7pm that night. It was a brutal drive, but I just wanted to get it over with rather than stretching it out over two days.

This morning I got insurance, title/plates transferred and taxes paid. Now I'm ready to take it out for a real test ride to see what this beast can do... might even have some nice... well, decent weather here in MI this coming weekend to do just that.

I haven't taken any pictures yet, but since it's an unmodified 2009 you already know what it looks like. I'll be sure to post some pics this coming weekend anyway just because I'm so excited.

OH... MY... GOD!!!! :biglaugh: :biglaugh: :biglaugh:

It's only 37 degrees, but the roads are dry and I just HAD to get on it. I'm sooooo going to get my ass in a sling with this thing. I only rode 18 miles and my face, knees and toes feel like blocks of ice right now, but it was definitely worth it.

Simply amazing power and the ride is so smooth I didn't even realize I was doing 110 when I got on the highway.

Snapped a few pics for the hell of it.

Thank you.

I honestly don't know if I will do any mods because... A) I'm cheap B) this thing far exceeds my skill/talent level to push it to it's limits as it sits and C) I'm cheap. :biglaugh:
