Thank you, enjoying the car soooooo much Wait a minute.. You had a Firestorm 6MT on deposit with Carlos? I think this is your car, someone backed out of this one so my deposit was switched to this car because mine had not arrived yet (arrived a week or two after I think)

They're awesome, we run them on at least 8 to 10 cars at our shop. Very grippy. We daily drive them so reliability is there for sure. I highly suggest them.

It was great! Carlos was very professional and awesome - I probably bugged the crap outta him but he was very pleasant to deal with 100% of the time. More details in my journal if you're interested and have time

Haha yup! I had an order at Longo for the exact same car, and shortly after I found out my car would take longer than expected to arrive, Kazumi at DCH called to let me know this one was available.

Same deal for me. DCH assured me that car would arrive 5/29 but it arrived over a week late? I even had all the paperwork done in advance and a lot of trouble I put into trying to wait it out, but South Coast in the end delivered on their end sooner so I ended up backing out of the one you're now happily driving. How's she treating ya?
