UPDATE!!! As of Friday, September 7th, I finally recieved a call from my dealer and he tells me that a Hot Lava with manual transmission has finally been allocated to me and is coming straight from the factory and should be in my hands by late October, early November...uhhh, at least I'm getting what I want. @
Hawaiian- I asked about a dealer trade, because I located TWO in Texas but they said I would have to pay the over $800 to ship it. I figured, I'd wait.
