Haha I think I saw the Asphalt you bought standing there a day or so before I went in when I was driving by South Pointe and decided to see what they had on the lot. I'm planning on getting the Ultramarine that they have standing right in front of the main entrance. Love that colour.

Oh wow LOL good eyes. Yeah I used to live on that street and moved over two blocks. I got them from Tunerworks, along with the KW V3 suspension as well.

The reason I went to South Pointe is that one of the salesperson there happens to be my dad's friend's fiancee and she said she would be able to get me a better deal. She just wasn't working there the night I went in. So I'm planning on going in when she's working and see what she can get me.

In my experience ... shop everywhere anyways. Lots of people always tell friends of friends of relatives of friends they'll give them good deals but its not really anything special.

I'd go there, see what she can do for pricing, say you need a day to think about it, go to stampede and be like they are willing to give me one for X$, will you beat it or throw in something to make me buy here.

Also it would've been a lot better to do it a couple days ago due to end of the month incentives for salespeople.

Anyone running a higher final drive? Wanna PM me I'm curious about how the car feels after

That's my plan. When he said $432 for a lease per month, I said Heninger was giving it to me for $402 (I just made it up, lol) and told him to call me with a better deal, and he immediately went down to $420. Of course, I didn't say yes and told him I'd shop around first.

I just noticed from the left that you drive a TRD FR-S? Do you have the full body kit? I've always wanted to see what it looked like in person.

No it just means I got one with all the TRD parts available from Scion, like the exhaust and intake. I might get the kit later down the road, possibly next summer, but for now, I'm waiting to actually get my car. Should be here by the 22nd, I'm told.

Ah, I see.

And that probably won't even happen now because my dealership "forgot" to order my car with the premium audio upgrade which can only be installed at port which means I either refuse to take the car that's coming on the 22nd with the basic head unit, or wait another few months for another one to come in with what I want.
Because of my dealership's mistake, I won't have the car I want at least for a few more months, which means I'll likely end up getting the 2014 which is fine but I just missed another driving season because the snow will be here by the time 2014's come out in October.
