Tony,
I live in DuPage. We got the GT mid July, used w/500mi, from Champion in New York. I am still learning about the car and have found this forum an excellent resourse. In fact, I started at page 178 and worked my way up to page 3 so far. That was just the general discussion. Next comes Tech.
Regarding driving,.....mostly weekends to the airport and errands with the kids. They constantly remind me who's turn it is.
