15 hour road trip #636 is home safe

Well my wifes new car is back in FL. Yesterday ( Wed) we flew out to Tx to get her Brazen Coupe.

We drove from Houston to Talahasse FL straight, the stopped for the night. I was amazed how comfortable the seats are. I drive for the 1st 5 hours with no issues. But being 6'5 I was not able to get really comfortable in the passenger seat, well enough to sleep.
After doing this drive I think they should make all the cars enginners have to take the thing on a 10 hour drive. For the most part I really like the car. But the arm rest in the door is to hard. I had to put a T shirt under my arm to be cofortable. Also there seems to be alot of wasted space on the center console. If they would of only put a few little flat areas with that no slip rubber it would of been alot eaiser to keep the Ipod in place. Plus they need to Pad that area better wher your arm rests.

So the car now has 900 ish miles on it and is offically broken in. Next week we take it out to an Auto X.

Congrats on the new ride.

Now you just need to visit JPM to take care of the arm rest problem

I really like the looks of the Brazen color on the coupe. I'm glad you didn't get a Wicked so we can see something different.

I LOVE my Wicked vert but honestly I see so many in this color it's sorta making me wish I'd gotten a different color....Let's see I've owned a Sly and a Cool ,now the Wicked....Perhaps I'll sette for a custom paint job on my Wicked. Have to do something creative to set apart from all the other Wickeds.

The Coupe and Brazen seem made for each other. The new Deep works on that style, too. Shame I'll never see it in Envious..
