One year old today -- Annual Report
I took delivery of my M6 coupe on October 13, 2006 (a friday).
One year old today, so here is my "Annual Report"

Mileage: 14125 miles
Fuel used: 1022 gallons
Fuel cost: $3256
Miles/Gallon: 13.82 MPG
Oil consumed: 5 liters
Tickets: 0

Trips to dealer: 1 (1200 mile service)


Mods:

Remove trunk badge -- I feel so european




Remove side badge -- They seem like an afterthought.




Hardwire V1




Remove Microfilter (no picture)


Custom license plate mount -- The way it should be




Custom painted wheels -- Sepang Bronze and grey wheels did not look very good, so they were painted to match.




Spare Tire




The year passed very quickly, I must not be driving fast enough.
I'm very happy with the M6 and expect to keep it for many years (many more annual reports).

Demon, what -- "suspension for 6 months" ?!!

Time to get a new attorney. What's going to happen with the CL65? You're gonna be in bigger trouble, bro. (Hopefully not, but I think you see where I'm coming from).

Excellent Clyde! Thanks for posting.

Given this, might I ask as to how long you'll be keeping the beast?

I keep my cars a long time, and hope to keep the M6 for 10 years
