My New Baby

I marveled at the concept car photos.

I eagerly read the news of development.

I read the first reviews.

I cringed at the "first crash" stories.

I read the forums.

I paid down my debt.

I bought a car.



Today marks a week of FR-S ownership, and I couldn't be happier with the car. It's not a supercar, but it is a super car. Next steps include tint, mud flaps, and a tow-hook license plate mount.

Congrats on the car and the discipline to do this first!

Also, congrats on living in the greatest city on earth. The Burnt Orange (I know, I know, HOT LAVA) will look awesome cruising around town on game days!

My vote for a first mod is to replace the wimpy stock horn with "The Eyes of Texas"... but that's just my suggestion.
