Just it case you weren't sick of hearing about it yet :)

Pedestrian warning speaker for All-electric mode.

Is this the exhaust pipe?

Yeah, on the right. The same spot on the left has a "pipe" with a speaker inside that generates the fake noise to warn pedestrians when in all electric mode. It has pedestrian detection systems. The camera is also used to read road signs and report speed limit changes, unlike the systems in other cars which just report what the historical speed limit is. It can adapt to construction zones.

Looks great. So, when do I get a ride? Hell, I can even save you from the torture of break in.

Yup. They're looking for somewhere to rent velvet rope to put around it until next Friday.

I'm happy for you and your success. I hope you really enjoy the new car and please bring it out to the next Knoxville, Tennessee Oppo meet.

I don't think you answered me last time.

I'm getting your SLS, right?

Can you make the speaker say "Get out my damn way you kids! BEEP BEEP!"?

I want to find out what file format the sample it plays is and replace it with something dumb.

Was it wet from transporting. I remember when they brought my Golf it had poured heavily, so it arrived pretty dirty to the dealership.

Nah, covered truck. It only got wet moving into the service bay.

Forgot it was an i8. Haha my car was sent on a tow truck from Puebla to here. Also, if I was going to get such an amazing car I would pick it up when it was sunny and with no chance of rain/bad weather.

Saw one on the road today! Get ready for lots of neck-snapping in your general direction...

I get the impression the SLS was training wheels for attention, the i8 is going to be a ducati superbike.

I can't wait to go test drive one of these! I'll bet waiting to take it for a spin is killer. :)

No matter how much you talk/post about it, it's still beautiful! Thanks for sharing a car that most of us will never get a chance to experience! I am looking forward to future updates!
