Default My car finally came in and I picked it up yesterday! Thanks to Christopher Bearman (CBS4)!

It was a great buying experience with Christopher, I recommend him to everyone.
The ride home was amazing and exciting. Will post pics later!

Phantom Black/Magma Red, Tech Package, B&O Sound, Nav, Side Assist and Carbon Atlas.

I tested Side Assist yesterday and it seems to work quite well.

Default Side Assist? I must have slept thru that one. I didn't think it was available.

Default Side assist senses cars (and objects?) to your right or left when you turn on your blinker to....

..change lanes. I think something blinks on the relevant side mirror to warn you. Meant to completely do away with blind spots. $500.

Default .. or just drive like a maniac all the time so no one tries to pass you and save the $500 ;-)

Default I thought it shook the steering wheel when you drift, or change...

lanes without using your blinker.

Default No - that's lane assist. Should be called drunk assist.
