I took a roadtrip up to Austin, about 230 miles from where I live, Filled up with $38 and got to my destination with half a tank. Pretty Baddass.

Some things I did notice on the trip, the Traction Control settings tend to get sensitive on long road trips, I had the light come up while turning from a stop and go, and I feel the differential tightening up bit, but I guess the computer or car got use to it, after turning off the car and turning it back on, it didnt happen again.

Im at 1060 miles already and the car feels great, I love the handling and braking system on it, and I like the way the Cruise control was set on the car, glad I didnt to use my foot to accelerate or slow down, IDK Im not use to having a car with cruise control.

from the looks of it I guess it is becoming a popular color

1. its body lines are shown more
2. neck breaker instead of the headturner LOL
3. not too common of a color on a frs
4. Its just stunning and I think alot of people want one this color

Be careful because it is more likely to become "more permanent" than to fail. I've seen this on other cars become more bonded over time as the plastic heats and cools.
