Took delivery of my FR-S today! I'm tempted to sleep in tonight. :)
 
It was exactly two months ago today that I decided to buy a new car. I absolutely love it. Drove it 50+ miles this afternoon/evening.

My last new car was 20 years ago. I purchased it in August 1992. It was a 1993 Honda Del Sol SI. I drove it for 18+ years. I hope I can enjoy my FR-S that long!!

I've been following this forum pretty closely over the past month. Some of the little things some guys talked about regarding sounds the engine, a/c, transmission, etc. make, I can now see what you were referring too. So far, all these things strike me as being the "normal" quirks that add to this car's wonderful character. I realize it's just my first day and some didn't experience their more serious issues until later. I'm hoping I may be spared those. ;). Anyway, the car drives soooo AWESOMELY!!!

Ok! Lol. Gotcha..... I'm not so tech savvy. But, I'll work on getting some pics of my new baby up. I am just so exited, I had to at least share my thoughts. :)

Congrats. New car interior is full of chemical fumes (new car smell) so don't sleep in it :D

The red is amazing. You think you get used to the cars looks, then one day you turn around and you fall in love with it all over again. Congrats on the car.

Nice! Firestorm was my first choice too, but decided against waiting and went with the Ultramarine as it was available. I don't regret it, but the Firestorm is still one of my favorite colors.:thumbsup:
