I like it. It's much newer than the 55 I was flying but obviously not as roomy. It's a much better climber though, so that's fun. With the wild paint job, it's definitely a head turner.
 
Love the plane and paint job. I've always been partial to corporate and freight flying. I have a business class out that way, we should have a Starbucks or whatever your drinking or eating.
 
just curious. don't mean to sound stupid.. but what is the purpose of having the wing tips flared like that? and not straight out. it doesn't look like they generate any lift (side to side) so why are they there?

Here are a couple of explanations:

Wikipedia

And a drawing illustrating (part of) the net effect of winglets:
