Hey Tom,

Just wanted to let you know, you left your transmission in the parking lot. Let me know when you wanna swing by and pick it up.. :chuckle

Just Kidding.

Enjoy the car, and welcome to the forum, long time lurker and now a full time member, I hope.

Must have been an adventure driving it off the lot for the 1st time. When I picked up my car from the dealer, I had just finished taking manual shifting lessons and I had never even driven the car when I picked it up. Stalled once driving out of the dealer's garage. Heading north on Jarvis was also quite an adventure that day... a few stalls + lots of nervous energy.

Eventually, things will get much smoother + more fun. The clutch still feels stiff to me sometimes but I really like the way it is.

Do you mean you picked it up on Friday?

If so, we briefly met in the parking lot. I'm the guy waiting to get the red. :( I was jealous as soon as I turned in to the parking lot. Love the new rims.

[zmtomako]

The colour is different. The new version is more of a gun-metal colour. Compare the pictures above to my avatar.

[SonicBoy]

I thought this was described as bright silver. I saw the new RX8 wheels and this new bright silver looks almost like a cloudy chrome finish.

Anyone see this?

None the less, congrats on your new purchase.
