Hey Everyone,

Just picked mine up Sunday afternoon. I took it for a test drive on the side streets in East Oakland over by One Toyota and I was totally sprung. I was tempted to turn off the VSC, but the roads were too wet. I ended up picking it up the following afternoon.

It's starting to drain my bank account already! First accessories are 86_ZN6's armrest and the Subaru trunk liner. Next up will be a set of driving goggles for the doggy!

Congrats!! Just keep those driving nannies ON until the road is more dry, ease on the gas and there will be more time to enjoy the car. Remember, this is a rear wheel drive car can easily drift.

Can anyone recommend some fun and twisty roads? I'm thinking about going for a fun drive sometime this weekend.

Go Mount Diablo if you have more time and like to do some hairpin turns and dangerous tight turns, but winter snow and rain may not be a good idea to visit. Highway 9 from Saratoga to Santa Cruz also fun.

This is an informal and friendly meet so anyone with any kind of car is welcome. There is a nice open, chill parking lot to hang out in and look at each others' rides.

I'll be there with my fiance who may bring her WRX. If no one else decides to show up that's cool the coffee is awesome

Oops, I was hoping earlier. But coffee is great thru out the day.

No worries

. Actually, the later the better, working graveyard. If at 1 or 2 or later you guys are still there, sweet. If not, I'll catch up on the next one
