I took my BDR out for the first real drive today. The temperature in south central PA did not get over 30 degrees, but it was sunny. My wife was strapped in looking like an Eskimo complete with a blanket. The ride was rough, noisy, smelly (gas), and certainly cold....it was awsome!!!!! My teeth got cold due to the smile planted on my face ear to ear. I couldn't tell whether all the looks were "hey, that's a cobra", or "hey, that guy is an idiot because it's cold". Either way, I couldn't care less.

I didn't push her too hard since I am still under 65 total miles. I stayed under 70mph and under 4500rpms. OK, maybe I got into once or twice, but who could resist?

All in all it is exactly what I expected. I am so glad I got it, and I can't wait until Spring. That does not mean the end of my winter driving. I'll have her out several more times as long as there is no snow and salt.

To all that are contemplating the purchase - what are you waiting for? Merry Christmas.
