Well after 4ish months, she finally arrived yesterday morning to the dealership. Took the day off and then stayed up until 1 a.m. detailing on the off chance that it would stop raining long enough for me to take some pictures. It did and I did, so without further ado:[attachmentid=18126][attachmentid=18127][attachmentid=18128]

I think some of these pics would be better if the sun had actually come out.

Here are a couple more.[attachmentid=18129][attachmentid=18130][attachmentid=18131]


I made a gallery with a few more. I know there has been lots of discussion about Zainos, and I'm sure it's a good product, but I think Mother's paste don't do bad neither.

All I have to say about this car is WOW!

Thanks. I've been meaning to tell you I really like your posting name. It captures the obsessive compulsive nature of car fanics. And very nice job on your car. I especially like the ducktail and start button.

try the meguires tech wax - I have had awesome results with it...

Yeah the car is amazing - when its dry try turning off the Traction control.. and remove your HC trap.

I went to les schwabbs today to get prices on 255-45-ZR17 nearly a 1000$...for toyos... ouch.. they did say they would give me a discount for my p-zeros though....

I think I'm going to keep these stock and buy 18's for summer. I don't need real winter tires for winter cause I'm from Ohio (driven in snow for 20 years) and I don't ski, so I don't go to the mountains.

did you get a manual or automatic ?

I have decided to maintain the stock diameter - for performance. But wider & lower profile for handling...

Manual. Yeah, handling is why I'll get the 18's. 285's out back and 255's up front. Save the pirellis for winter.

Actually, the co-pilot is always saying "Dad, can we take the fun way home."
