First XKR purchase; help with identifying engine noise.

Remember, I've been retired for 10+ years, I have NO reason to be up so stinkin' early as that.
I wouldn't mind making the UT39 run from Eden into Evanston and maybe I80-I84 back. Done that several times.
Not THAT early though..........
Bring a camera or two.

Just got back. That's the first time ever being on that road on four wheels. Kinda weird not leaning into the turns, and I kept trying to stick my knee out. Old habits, right?
That's a nice loop you're talking there, but when we do that on the bikes, we usually keep heading south from Evanston to run the Mirror Lake Highway.
As for the time... well, I work swings so I feel your pain. I wanted to leave myself enough time in case I wanted to do laps before coming home to get ready for work. I'm taking advantage of the cooler temps this weekend to do some yardwork, but taking Wolf Creek to the cafe in Hannah for lunch is on my short list of things to do. I'll give you more notice via text next time I go.

One question- how can I get audio from my Android phone to the car's stereo? The seller said that the car won't stream audio over bluetooth, and that USB port is only for thumb drives and won't pull audio from (or charge) a phone.
Mandrake, if you search "stereo or audio upgrade" and related terms you'll find folks who have added connectivity devices. I'm not sure what connectivity setup the 2010 comes with standard and things may have changed since I did mine ('07 XKR). But items such as the Audio Connectivity Module (line-in audio), Scosche and CableJive adapters are what give you connectivity and steering wheel controls to your Android phone. Good luck.
