Yeah sure was I lived around Middletown and I'm there all the time! I haven't bumped in to the other RS2 owner here in Kentucky yet.

haha I am in the same boat. I know nothing about cars but one day, most likely because I'm middle aged, I decided I wanted a sports car. I did some research on economical cars and decided on a used cayman or FR-S as I liked the looks of both. Then I saw the release was coming out then some time passed. My dealer eventually got one and I had to have it. a couple of weeks later i'm sliding around corners like a kid. I know one day I'm going to get pulled over and the cop is going to be like really dude your 40 something years old hahaha

it is called Lunar Storm. it is lighter than the khaki toyota pick up trucks you see running around. Kind of like a stone color. It is really nice. in some light it looks almost cream, sometimes tan or khaki. unique for sure. The interior is just amazing. even the dealer service guy was going on and on about the leather etc. when I took it in for my nav upgrade that they threw in.

That sounds about right. I remember hearing that 75% of Monograms made were auto. I wouldn't be surprised if there were less than 300 manual RS2s on the road.

Dealers around me only had autos (garden grove, Westminster, Huntington Beach) so they trade one of their auto for a manual from SD
