I am in the process of buying my first car (Swift VDi with ABS) since last month and has been a complete nutter ever since.

Sleep has left me, as all I can think of while sleeping is whether to get JBL O637 for the front speakers instead of the IC122 that the dealer penned down, or whether Teflon coating is aboslutely necessary(Thanks to TBhp for sowing seeds of doubt in my mind ) or whether to get alloys or not. I virtually drive my car everyday in my mind and the long waiting period for this car isn't helping matters.

My solution is to go to the dealer and get as many test drives as I can, but it actually increases the longing for my car. Shucks !

Then I go and discuss accessories with the MGA guy, chopping and changing, calling up Swift owners I know and discussing ownership experiences with them. I have even researched aftermarket tyre options and prices, so that I can change footwear as soon as I get my car. I have zeroed in on Michelin Pilot Precedas at the moment, anybody use them?

Also planned the drives I will do after getting delivery of the car. Currently I ogle at all the Swifts that I see on the road, some of you on the forum must have been my victims

.

The best part is, I am getting the loan cheque today from SBI, so delivery of the car should not be far off. Until then, I can't stop being a complete psycho(not to confuse with psycho here). I wonder how my wife is bearing with me !

Discovering TBhp has been a great soother, reading through the material here helps me take my mind off the car. Sorry for the rant, guys !
