Hi all. New to the forum. :biggrin I'm expecting to take delivery of new never titled 06 white blue stripe gt here in Canada this week. :banana Have done some searching here and learned what items should be included.

In general:

-Make sure you are starting in 1st gear; slightly left off-center
-practice left turns, in driveway; huge A-Pillar view blockage and blindspot
-practice merging left
-practice backing up; rear diffuser will hit curbs
-front hood and rear camshell might need a little getting use to, to close
-to open front hood; hold silver release on fender out, while lifting hood
-front filler cap, same (should 'pop" up)
-ease gas nozzle in spout hole; self closing top.
-doors might take firm close
-otherwise keep it under 4000 rpm for fitst 1K mi.
-some people think the stock car cover is a little rought and order a tan flannel for covercraft/CA car covers

Goodies:

-Leather owners manual
-Warranty card
-Quick Ref Card
- 2 Keys
-Charger
-Air Compressor
-tow hook
-Cover
-3 Hang cards (safety, airbag, misc)
-2 Pages on towing

" 2 more sleeps to go" :lol

Made me laugh... that's just how my son measures time when he's excited.
 
Aren't we all just BIG kids at heart. Its that we now have BIGGER and more EXPENSIVE TOYS to go after. :biggrin
 
Judicious application of go pedal, best learned in driving school. Far too many wrecked GTs out there!
 
The stickers are yellow with black letters on top center of windshield. You see them in ebay listings. They say ROT ###, or ####_##. These were factory line tags. Some cars have-em others dont keep em.
 
Canadian Cars Stickers are Red with white letters. Also, should have a Canadian Leaf (about 1/2"x1/2" sticker below the ROT and VIN stickers).
