I just recently discovered it. I figured since it was non-premium it'd be full of newbs but that's not the case at all. I like it.

I'm still at my parents house... after dinner I'm going to drive home and enjoy a cigar and Sam Adams to celebrate my accomplishment. Washed, clayed, polished, and sealed in about 7 hours.

I only did the outside, and the clear coat on this car is so nice you don't have to spend much time at all correcting swirls. Believe it or not I have had this car for 18 months and 28,000 miles and this is the first time I polished it. There were like two swirls on the entire car.

The S2000 on the other hand... I am going to need to spend a good 12 hours or so on it. And it's much smaller!

Hey Ken, I went down Friday and showed the tech exactally what was wrong. He kinda tried to tell me "thats just the way it is" and "new trans' feel notchy" I was like I dont mind notchy but this is just straight up wrong. Then we went out front and sat in a new 370. After both rowing thru the gears he agreed something was in fact wrong with mine. So I suppose they are working on locating and fixing the prob.
