I never really introduced myself after I joined back at the beginning of April, so here goes a quick breakdown...

3/25/13: Pulled the trigger on the FR-S by test driving a Hot Lava in manual.

4/1/13: Went back to the dealership and started negotiations, but needed to sleep on it to make sure I was really gonna do this.

4/2/13: Went back and did the deal. Located my car in Myrtle Beach, SC and signed the papers.

4/3/13: Took delivery and became a proud owner and driver of 2013 Firestorm FR-S 6MT.

After a month and a few days of owning the car, I don't know what else to say except I freakin love this car! It's my 1st RWD ever! No mods yet, but I might start with wheels & tires...and after searching the forum, I see there are many different set ups according to a driver's needs/wants. I thought I had it all figured out, but I'm rethinking the wheel game over again. For now, I'm just enjoying my car and its awesome power and handling capabilities out of the box.

I'm sorry in advance for my crappy pics and angles, but here are a few shortly after a wash & wax.
Glad you got one! It's one of the most fun cars I've owned. You're still in the break-in period, so I guess you're taking it easy, eh? Depending on your budget, yeah wheels and exhaust are pretty common mods. If on a budget, new springs and plati-dipped stock wheels can go pretty far in terms of looks. Have fun!
