Needless to, 2-3 weeks have gone by and guess what I still don't have? It turns out they were unable to find a 3 equiped like the one I order at another dealer, so the order was apparently passed along to the factory. I called a week or so ago expecting to hear "your car will be here any day now" but instead I found out that it had just been built. So the dealer said the earlist to expect it is the end of the month. It wouldn't be so bad, but I already sold my Corrola, so getting around day to day is a bit of a hasle. But to look on the bright side, it will just seem that much better when it gets here!

Do you have public transportation you can use, or do you have to find people to haul you around?

You'll be paying for that once you get the 3.

Probably so. And it's fun to give people rides in your new car to show it off a little. That's one of the nice things about getting a new car.

So far so good. I found out yesterday it seems have automatic headlights, something I didn't even know when I bought the car.

Automatic headlights as in, turns on and off at night with a sensor, or just DRL style headlights?

On/off light sensor I think. You can set it to "auto" and I noticed the lights turned themselves off when I shut down the car. The only time I drove it was last night so I'm not sure, but it looks like theres a little sensor on the dash. I'll have to check it out and post back.

It should say somewhere on your window sticker or in your owner's manual.
