T MINUS 2 HOURS
Sorry I'm at work and bored/excited because i pick up my '06 Flint Mica TC at 7 tonight. Cannot wait. I've got a great way to break it in too. 200 mile road trip directly off the lot :-D wish me luck. It wont be complete untill earlier next week when the rest of my options come in (lipspoiler and exhaust and xm) but im still excited that im about to go make myself extremely broke. end of rambling crap.

im picking it up today with the stereo HU with ipod capability, earlier in the week they will be putting on the lip spoiler, exhaust, and XM radio. Also, i have a question, does anyone know if the iPOD connection charges the iPod while its connected?

Congratulations! I was counting the hours myself the last THREE days. Just picked up my Blue Onyx Pearl 05 xB this morning about 9am Denver time. 
The tCs are sweet: would've been my choice for a coupe fer sure. Do baby your car the first 1000 miles, by varying your speed. Don't cruise on the highway at 70MPH (for example) for long periods. If you have cruise control, limit your usage during break-in. The rule to not drive in excess of "x" MPH is no longer needed on these newer engines.
I was floating down the interstate this morning at 70+.
Whipped past a new Accord at 75--they couldn't stop looking at the blue box!

We don't drive GM's.
You have ten miles to floor it and set the seals. After that. Have fun, just vary your speed a bit.
