Toyota town is good. I am from London and thought about going through them but as I'm living in St. Catharines now, I figured it would just be easier to go through Performance Toyota here. They have been great and I have no regrets. They parked it out in the back away from the customers and are not allowing anyone to sit in it (let alone drive it).

Tomorrow night at 6PM I am going to pick it up. Man am I just too excited.

I'll be back in London this weekend for Thanksgiving. I'm very excited to drive my car. Even if I have to be shifting it up and down the whole way home due to break in...

And insist that they put it on their showroom floor INDOORS! I can't shake the feeling that they are deliberately dawdling so they can show off the car to customers for a while before handing it off to you. The dealers around here have certainly developed a real attitude due to the scarcity of these cars. The 86 was conceived and is marketed as a back-to-basics no-nonsense driver's car but the dealers act like they're selling a Ferrari :P

In all fairness for 24K it's a damn good knock-off.

naah, the other way around. Just imagine, soon we'll be seeing Ferraris sporting a bumper sticker with the ol' "My other car is an 86"

Just got mine today, 1 day ahead of schedule

All that waiting makes the delivery just that more sweet. Of course, I had to sit and sign paperwork while looking longingly at my Raven baby. Was great to drive it off the lot, finally.

I know you're excited ... just remember, take your time when you sign those papers & don't let them pull anything. Also, remember to watch those revs for the 1st 1K miles!
