Welcome to the forum. Based upon the car (and girlfriend of course!!) you appear to be pretty far from sight less! Enjoy the new car.

Welcome...

I loved my R170. And i can say it is a very safe car. Saved my life when it was totaled.

Good call on the headlights. Do you have HIDs behind the projectors? Hard to tell from the pictures.

I miss the supercharger feel of the R170. And sound of my supercharger purging via a custom bypass flange i had made for it... people were just shocked and though my car was a sleeper
