shouldn't have called.. - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Called my dealership at lunch to check if they had come up with a delivery date yet for my Asphalt; they didn't give me one when I put the deposit down, just an estimate for late July.

The sales manager told me he was pretty positive it would be in Wed/Thurs next week... Now I'm too excited to concentrate at work. I should have just waited for them to call me when it was delivered!

What did everyone else do to curb the anticipation?

I think I am the wrong person to ask... LOL I got mine last week and now I am wondering when products are coming from aftermarket... LOL

haha, congrats

I've already been thinking about that for a while, mostly just to replace the stock stereo though.

i started learning everything i possibly can about the engine, suspension, electronics... also got so comfortable with some of the features that i started purchasing parts and different lighting to work on it. i admit i am supper distracted at work ( like now) : ) . i just hope the hype doesn't disappear with in the first week of owning it.

I've been through that. But when the date came, the car didn't. Hope this is not happening to you.
