Seems like they could've gone the extra mile and given you something nice to hold on to as you row through gears. Like, were you guys hoping for something special? I'm sure your answers are the same, but just thought I'd clarify.

I guess that answer is sure.. I always hoped for leather, toyota GT86 (same as BRZ Limited) spoiler, and foglights...this is closest it comes to the GT86 so I have no complaints and kept cost lower.

God. I was ABOUT to cancel my 10 series order today. I went to disney recently and rented out a Camaro SS with all the powers...including HUD. So today I decided I would give the camaro a shot and wanted to see what a dealer had to offer. They had a red Camaro SS with all the bells and whistles for 48k (in PR these go for around 65, stupid tax). And so I drove it... fell in love, and it didnt help my girfriend was telling me how "hot" and badass I looked in the car. The sound it produced was sensational!!! THE SPEED THE SPEED THE SPEED! I swear for like 3 hours I was convinced that the frs was shit (after 2 years of wanting this car it all went down the drain). I decided to go home to think about it (i know emotion can cloud judgement). So im still hanging on to the 10 series because I continue to convince myself that ill get over the car in about a year with empty pockets due to gas... but the feeling of being a douchebag (oh i never thought I would enjoy that lol) an the mischievous spark that car gives me is unbeatable. If that 10 series does not get here pronto, I swear the camaro will win me over.

How many people(enthusiasts) does it take to screw on a TRD shift knob? Lol

there is going to be a significant heft difference that you can feel as well as a significant power difference. They're going to feel quite different.

If I were still into donuts, I would be jealous of the gas station attendants that you attended to...

On-Topic:
So what shift knob is the manual transmission Series 10 getting?

Yeah, I haven't had a donut in years and have never had a Krispy Kreme anything.

And I agree, peeps are a bit different in Fairbanks. Friendly and hospitable, but seemed to be stuck in a time warp.

Uh-oh, OT again.

C'mon SpyderDan, post up already!

I was in the same mood after driving a Boss 302 Laguna Seca in April. The sound of that V-8 almost made me lose my mind but couldn't get over the dated styling, bad paint and SUV rear suspension.
