Is it just me or is this day going by twice as slow as yesterday?

Negative! I just picked my car up this afternoon from OpenRoad Toyota in the Richmond Automall. In general, their service was really good.

As requested, here are some pics I took today. Too bad it wasn't really sunny though.






Check this out!! Only 14KM's on the car when I drove it away. I got all the way up to 56KM's just driving it home and to pick up the GF.




I absolutely love this car. I'm still getting used to the stick but I'm feeling way more comfortable after driving it home. I even had a cab driver stop me at a red light and ask me what the heck it was. He loved it and congratulated me on picking it up. First one he's seen around town.

Again, this is a wicked car. I've been constantly going past the speed limit without even realizing it because it simply feels so good. It's been almost taunting me to go faster. Fastest I've been so far is about 120KPH on the highway in 6th gear all the while keeping the car below 4k rpms.

I'm surprised there's all this talk about front bumper drilling but none about dealership decal advertising.

I always thought dealer decaling was a thing of the past but it looks like Ben's car got hit with it. Does it look easy to remove?

Shit guys! I didn't even notice that until you guys pointed it out. I was going to remove the plate frames anyway, but now I want to remove the decal also.

I hope they didn't add the decal and then do my clear coat protectant. That would be a bitch to remove.

Thanks to all of you for the kind words.

I've been doing city driving yesterday and I've done about 75kms. The needle has barely even gone down at all. I expect to probably get over 400 kms on the first tank.

Matt, I got the Ultramarine from same dealership. The demo model is beautiful and having seen it in real life I am second guessing my colour choice. The demo model doesn't have any decals on it, aside from the license plate holder. Do you know if Oakville Toyota puts decals on their cars? My salesperson is not easy to reach :-(

I'd be driving a Black FR-S right now but I swapped to white about 2 months ago. The wait is killing me but I'm glad I switched.

Aha who sold you yours? Mine is not easy to reach either, but I got my last car from there with no decals and zi do not believe they put them on. Did they give you an ETA?
