Congrats! Sounds like you had a great trip!

One tip on the speakers. I've heard from a shop that that is the audio sub-contractor for the Cadillac dealers in my area for Bose speakers in GM cars this one mantra- Don't use them until you get them fixed. The more they are used, the worse they'll get and the more expensive it will be to repair them.

Apparently, that static noise you hear is the first sign of them failing. In the beginning the repairs are fairly easy, only a few components need replacing. If you continue to use them they will eventually require entire modular (amplifier I think) replacements which gets real spendy.

Hope you enjoy your new car as much as many of us Allante owners enjoy ours!

Good luck!
