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. This seems to vary quite a bit. I'm thinking more along the lines of what to look for on, under, in the car. All assisstance will be appreciated. :thumbsup

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

Judicious application of go pedal, best learned in driving school. Far too many wrecked GTs out there!
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).
