As much as I loved my old car, there is no substitute for a 15+ year newer car. Compared to our youth, now that we are old, the 370 seems inexpensive. Enjoy your investment in yourself.
Hey, we now have identical cars.

I'm having a wee bit of trouble getting used to the synchorev, which I was so excited about.

I take it you cannot delay putting the car into the next gear or it goes crazy. I've got it (almost) handled on the upshift, which was never calling for a delay, but can't get the hang yet of the downshift. I think it's a holdover habit from previous driving and trying to avoid what the upshift now takes care off -- getting that huge rev out of the engine. Maybe it just takes a little time and practice.
