Absolutely love this new Pilot.
unfortunately I'm stuck driving my Ford. My
wife gets to have all the fun.... bummer.

Congrats flyjet on your or shall I say your wife's new Pilot.

Love that color by the way ;-)

Looks like you Boomer and I have great taste in color, but lets hope we don't see too many of that color on the road. Congrats.

BTW - I like the running boards.

You get any other options? Is that the grey or saddle interior?

flyjets · 12-11-2006, 07:19 AM

thanks for the nice words folks...

Funny thing about the running boards. When I first made my offer for what I was willing to pay both I, and the salesman, didn't notice the additional siticker in the window for the running boards and wheel locks. They both added up to an additional $900 or so. The salesman, after speaking to the three wise men at the counter, accepted my offer. Suddenly, here comes the general manager in a tizzy. "oh no, we can't accept your offer, the running boards weren't included in the price!". Ok I says... bye bye. And I get up to leave. Suddenly.... "no charge for the running boards and wheel locks".
Why does buying a car have to make one feel like a shower is needed when complete?

The interior is Saddle colored leather. Absolutely love the feel of the seats!

Boomer, I did not expect you to appreciate the Aggie Maroon! That is very open-minded of you!

LOL, you know I never thought of that, when I chose the color , I tried to get as close to sooner crimson as I could. And actually thought that dark cherry pearl would be a lighter red than it is. But I have grown to love this color. So yes, I guess that does involve a little bit of open-mindedness.

great color! congrats

Congrats and welcome aboard, like your choice in colors. It would nice if you could pull rank on your wife and trade her the Ford for the Pilot now and then. Have you figured out how to mount a GAU-8/A yet?

flyjets · 01-12-2007, 01:31 PM

That's funny! Not too many folks would know what the GAU-8 is.

If I can get my hands on one i'd never have to worry about traffic jams again. Toll booths... nope! Grin.

By the way... I've put tens of thousands of rounds thru that cannon... Amazing.

I have plenty of rank... my wife is not impressed. I'm stuck with the Ford!!
even the kids frown when they head towards my car.... grin.
