I'm losing it. How did you cope?
 

SO! Day 5 since I ordered my Toyota 86 GTS. The current waiting time is 8 months....

I think I have watched every video on the net, I stalked Subaruwrxfan on youtube and went to his FB, and now am daily asking him questions. He linked me to these forums. I have picked out all the items I will be getting for my car and have book marked them ready to go as soon as she arrives. Guys I have even gone back to toyota begging for another test drive. My Gf is pissed because I rather talk about the car and Wrxfans videos then listen to her talk.

This is my first car that I have been able to customize, Ive had a BMW X5 but traded that in for a corrolla to save money on fuel and also the X5 was getting old.

I don't think I'm going to make it guys! 8 months is going to kill me.
How did you cope!? Or even give me some cool ideas what I should do with it when I get it!

I want to find a decent Body Kit.
Amazing Black Rim.
Put in a Android touch screen and remove the stock one.
Lower it 2''inches
SRT Headerback Exhausts.
Arm Rest

Optional things:
Dash Cam + Radar detector, Black out the lights if I figure out how too.
Please you can help me by criticizing what I want to add to it once you have valid reasoning, Or even give me some more tips because as I said this is my first cart I have ever planned to customize!
HELP!

Kyubi - if you are willing to drive to get your car I would recommend ringing around dealerships and see what's available. I ended up getting my GTS in Aug rather than Jan.
I know of several other on this and other forums that have done the same thing. You may risk your deposit, but again, myself and many others have ended up getting our deposit back.

Good luck mate and if you don't find one sooner think of all that cash you can save for the mods.

Drive it like you stole it on some winding mountain roads.

:bellyroll:

Man what a horrible HORRIBLE situation to be in. I feel sorry for you man. Hope you endure and survive this terrible first world problem you're in. Will keep you in our prayers. Hang in there. Don't let the devil consume you. :drinking::23::evil::suicide:

Yea, I have tried ringing everywhere for it most likely every Dealership in Perth, I considered going over east looking but I dont know getting a bit out of control haha

Yea the dash cam could be fun, I live in the Perth hills so I will definetly be driving like I stole it might get some good takes with the cam to share!

Just looked at the Perrin Catback Exhaust, I think I like it over the SRT HB one.

Edit1: Haha Switch Ikr, Kids are starving in Africa yet my pain is still a lil worse..... Jks jks Bless those kids.

If it is any consolation It'll slowly get worse as the date slooowly creep nearer. Then you get the delivery date about 6 weeks in advance, and then the REAL pain starts.

You think you have it bad now? Wait until the day before delivery....

haha meanie!

I got lucky. I placed my order with a 4 month wait. I was the same as you. I watched all the videos and read everything I could here. Two weeks later my salesman called me and said he had a raven on the lot that matched everything I wanted except the color. I went down, looked at it, drove it and took it home that night.

Play forza 4 and get the FRS/GT86 thats how I coped

That first time you press the "Start" button makes it all worth it.....

Bahaha Classic!


And yes when I press that button I feel my body is going to be confusingly turned on >.>

Keyword: when....

Loving the little subtle burns guys!

Ordered mine Nov 17th and specified I wanted delivery March 2013... as soon as it is 8 weeks away I am going to be checking with the dealer weekly until I get a confirm that the delivery is on schedule. (i have my doubts)

Jonesing myself..
