I went to the LBS today over lunch to check out the 50% off winter clothing sale (and came back $125 poorer). Guess what they tell me ... Tomorrow the Specialized dealer is coming in with a truck load of all the new 08 models and is letting people take them out for test rides, like real test rides for a couple of hours or so! Talking to self: Self, don't do it. Don't go. You will be broke before you know it.
